Don't normally worry about heart, but chest flutters + coughing today...

[a14]

Not much more to say other than the title, honestly. I keep feeling a fluttering in my chest today like my heart is fluttering, and every time that happens, I have to cough immediately afterward...I don't have a history of heart problems or heart fears but this is kind of concerning as I've been told that coughing after a chest sensation can be a sign of impending heart attack     Can any people who specialize in cardiophobia tell me whether or not my fears are justified? Heart issues are something that I absolutely refuse to google...even scarier than googling cancer.

Who told you that's a sign of impending heart attack, exactly? Did whoever it was also say that impending heart attacks also cause immense pain, shortness of breath, and sweating (to name a few)?

Sounds like skipped or extra beats to me. Nothing to worry about in a structurally sound heart.
