Will flutters make you gasp or cough a little is that your heart something to do with diaphragm?

Flutters or heart palpitations are the sensation of one's heart racing or skipping beats.

The diaphragm is the muscle that separates chest and abdomen and its contraction helps air go into and out of lungs.

Fluttering happens because the top and bottom chambers of the heart do not contract at the same time.

The upper chambers contract first followed by lower chambers.

If this delay is irregular or greater than usual it can cause fluttering.

When the heart chambers do not fill properly a person may feel like they are coughing or gasping.

Sometimes, there is a feeling like skipping a beat.
