Fluttering, tremor in heart with normal blood pressure.

Resolved Question:

I'm 38, female, 5'6, 220 lbs
Over the past 3-4 weeks, in the evenings when I get in bed or am just relaxed after work that I feel a fluttering or tremor in my heart. It feels like it's racing but when I check my blood pressure it's always normal or low.
I've started noticing it more even during the day over the past week. And no my fingers on both hands feel tingly or numb or like they are asleep quite a bit of the time. I have also noticed just today that my feet feel the same way.
I typically have blood pressure on the lower side. I take it when I'm feeling like this and it's typically in the 85-110/50-75 range. And my pulse is typically between 60-75.
I don't have any known health issues. I haven't had any major illnesses or conditions.
This is just a very abnormal feeling for me and I'm wondering what is causing it, if I should see the doctor, if I should see the doctor urgently, and if there is anything I can do to try to remedy it.

Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
Greetings from Dr Satish
Gone through case history, I would suggest to do EKG if possible to do at the time when you fee the fluttering and in case it's not possible to do I would suggest to do Holter Monitoring which records 24 hrs EKG.
Check up your thyroid profile.
Sometimes even though pulse rate may be normal heart rate is high suggesting frequent ectopics or supravenrtricular tachycardia like Atrial Fibrillation .
Regards
Dr Satish
