Yepp. I have had those exact symptoms. The flutters are benign, and the flushing face (burning) is from nerves or capillary dilation. All of your readings are totally normal--in fact blood pressure is low. I'd bet on anxiety.

Not sure if anyone has ever heard of it. Well here is hoping they can figure something out to help slow or quiet these thing down. They are driving me batty cant take much more of it.

Wonder if it's hot flashes. How old are you?

I get a flushed face as well with some palpitations. It feels like a hot flash and I'm 26!

[Richelle]

I am 33

im 23 and male and was getting hot flashes every day, felt weird being a male with hot flashes, all due to anxiety, i know it sucks but you will get used to it untill you get your anxiety level down.
