Well, that's certainly something to mention to the cardiologist. Thanks for the link, Emily.

I have gotten this off and on since a scary seminar presentation in college (LONG time ago). The research says, and my experience lately confirms, that fish oil helps prevent this.

I've been on fish oil since before mine started. Hmmm...

I think that's what I have. I'll be just doing normal things and all of a sudden, it feels like something running up my chest. I had an EKG as well and everything was fine. I read the same thing about menopause - that that could be a symptom.

Visit with cardiologist
Sorry I took so long to get back here with a reply. My doc says it's not that unususual ....as a cardiologist he sees it often. My test results indicate that the heart is strong,no murmurs etc. However, there is an aberrant electrical impluse at times. When does it occur and for how long are the important issues for him. He stated that I could go on a betablocker(no way) or have a procedure called an ablation performed by an electrician
(speciality of a cardio who works on just electiral issues). The specialist can locate the place where the faulty impulse starts and zzzap it. >90% cure rate. Spoke to a person in my bike club who had it done 5 years ago(at ~30 or so) and she is fine.
For now, I am simply logging what I eat and drink(I need to diet anyway) and then attempting to correlate to an event(a-flutter). I am to note how long the event lasts and see him in a year if nothing changes for me. Since my appt I've had one event as we were racing our youngest pomeranian-she's 6- to an emergency vet last Sat. She's fine and so am I. I'll report any news from my side. Oh BTW, I am 61.25 and 4-5 years post menupause.
