Can a Ruptured Implant Under the Muscle Cause Heart Flutters ?

Mlm Texas
Since my left implant ruptured, occasionally I feel my heart flutter or beat erratically. Also, the implant seems to shift in the pocket, causing me frequent pain and discomfort. I often have to sleep in an underwire bra to keep it from shifting around at night. It seems like the fluttering happens during the pain and discomfort of the shifting and it is scary when it happens. Is this even possible?
