I'm not a professional but I can relate to heart flutters.... when I met the local herbalist...and we married and were working partners in a working herb store for ten years... I had heart flutters... he had me start taking a good calcium/magnesium supplement that my body would absorb and extra magnesium and my heart flutters are no more.... I suggest you check with an alternative healtcare practioner... ie, naturopath, herbalist and see what they have to say first, BEFORE doing any drugs for the condition... if this incident is your first and only experience, then I 'd have to say that probably there's nothing real serious going on just your body trying to tell you that something is out of balance... I hope this helps a little...you can also go into your city library and do some research in natural healthcare books, with the heart flutter as the issue and see what you find.... I would do that before allowing medical people to give me pills and loads of tests..... just a suggestion....and good luck, it will be OK! Trust your body...and lay off the sodas..... even the diet ones, they are truly very bad for us....

Having had a heart attack myself I would say that if your doctor has told to not to play then you shouldn't play.

Heart conditions are very serious and until the doctor gives you the all clear you need to make sure that you don't put too much strain on your heart, they can be treated successfully but if you strain your heart too much then you could damage it further and make it a longer and harder process to treat it (you could also risk having a major heart attack). Just hold of until you see your doctor and then ask wheither you can play or not, no sport is worth risking your life to play.

Take it easy, I hope everything goes alright

well my sister had something similar happen and in the end they found out that she had a heart condition that just made her more dehydrated than everyone else. she was aloud to go back to sports but she just has to make sure she drinks water before games and stuff. its seemed like a huge deal at the time but now she is just fine

If your doctor told you not to play, then don't play. Why take the risk? When I was in highschool a kid had a heart attack on the basketball court and died and another died of a heart attack while shoveling snow. These were kids! If you know you have heart problems, then you take it seriously and do what the docotor tells you.
