Over a whole day of hourly readings, the average was 133/77 with the highest reading at 156/78 and the lowest reading at 118/72 average heartbeat 67 with the highest at 77 and lowest at 57. Cholesterol levels 5.7.

Bendrofluazide was the first medicine prescribed, but the patient was intolerant to it and lost too much potassium.

Fluttery as in the feeling when your eye twitches and you can't stop it? The heart beat is regular.

The BP readings are good, cholesterol not too bad and if the heart beat is regular, I am not sure what the fluttering sensation can be or what causes it.
Has the person ever had en ECG done to detect any abnormality?
