Internal tremors - twitching Feb 17, 2013 Hi Dr Henry I seem to have developed internal twitching in my left foot and now chest. It feels like my heart is fluttering and it can skip a beat , It is pretty much constant and seems to be increasing . I thought it may be a side affect of Atripla which I have been on for about 4 years now My CD4 level is 849 and I'm undetectable Last week I had an ECG done with relevant blood tests at AE as I was worried about the irregular heart beat Many thanks |

| Response from Dr. Henry
 Isolated tremors and heart fluttering beginning years after starting Atripla would rarely be due to the Atripla. Some nerve pressure on the left side most likely cause of localized left foot twitching while many conditions can cause sense of heart fluttering (ie thyroid or other hormone conditions, amemia, high blood pressure, exposure to caffeine/alcohol or other drugs, anxiety, and many more) so a good medical work-up recommended).
