So lacking a 12-lead ECG and the ability to interpret it, the most accurate way to diagnose flutter is with two fingers. Feel your carotid or radial pulse for 15 seconds. Count the beats and pay close attention to the rhythm. Is the rhythm rock solid regular like a drumbeat? Is the heart rate elevated above normal? If the answer to both questions is yes and you've been diagnosed with flutter previously, it's probably flutter. If the heart rate happens to be near 150 bpm, it's virtually guaranteed to be flutter.

George, I'm curious about your comment, converting from flutter to Afib and then to NSR. How does one do that?

In 2018, in this post, I linked a paper from 1959 where they were lowering peoples temperature as a part of surgical procedures. As they lowered temperatures, the arrythmias would go away, then return as the temperature was increased after the surgery. Note that hypothermia is real. If you want to play with this, do gradual exposure to cold. Also have a spotter in case you pass out. I expose myself to cold nearly every day, so it is something my body is used to and I'm very familiar with. I shoveled snow yesterday wearing only shorts, no shoes, shirt, gloves & etc at 20 deg F. This morning I went for my morning sunrise exercise wearing shorts, sandals & a t-shirt at 18 deg F. I take cold showers daily. Again, I don't encourage people do do this. If you do, educate yourself to the dangers, have someone around and be careful.

Last night I was so hot and sweaty from the tachycardia burden that I cooled off my face with cold water because I couldn’t take a cold shower in the hospital wearing telemetry leads and hooked up to an IV. I got an instant relief of 70hr for three minutes until my flutter returned. I then stuck my head out of a window. The temperature was 55 and I converted for the night from the cold windy blast of outdoor air.
