Hi i was wondering if anyone could tell me what my condition could be as i have had it quite some time and have trawled the internet without success.

I have a large rash in the middle of my chest which is the shape of a heart. I also suffer from irregular / heart flutters.

If anyone knows or has had these symptoms could you please let me know what it is.

Thank you..

Does the rash itch or hurt in anyway and how long have you had it? I had scarlet fever once and developed the chest rash with heart palps but I also had a sore throat. Scarlet fever is a strep infection and you really feel sick. The flutters may not be related to the rash. I take meds for arrythmia but mine problem is due to valve problems. You can have palps but not necessarily have heart problems. Anxiety can also cause the flutters. You should go see a doctor to make sure you have no underlying infections going on.

Hi Missy

the rash doesnt itch or hurt, i've been told on another forum that the rash and heart flutter may not be connected, so im wondering if there are any heart conditions which produce a rash.
