Hi Julie,

I think I know the feeling that you mention. I know that it is different than the tightening in the chest that I can get when I feel some anxiety. I wonder if this feeling, (like a fluttering of the heart?) isn't something that we used to feel prior to dx, but only notice now? My last MUGA was good, and I'm off Herceptin for almost two months now (finished a year).
