Keep on getting this horrible fluttering sensation about 2 inches below my sternum, slightly to the right side of my solar plexus
It’s close enough to the middle that I was worried about heart rhythm (Although I suffer from ectopic beats and never felt them there). Also my pulse is fine and I have an app on my phone to track irregular pulses, and it’s not picking up anything remotely abnormal.
I have a bit of wind, but I doubt it’s that. Almost feels like a twitching muscle
Any thoughts?
You've not been exploring lately have you?
Twitching muscle? I get one in my abs ever now and then
Butterflies caused by the excitement of what our new PM is planning?
Almost feels like a twitching muscle
Probably that, I get them occasionally.
Yeah if not palpitations my first thought was muscle twitching.
Are you fully hydrated?
I get them in my arm occasionally, never in my abs!
Was a bit worried about atrial fibrillation but I’m assuming that would be reflected in your pulse being all over the place.
You are going to die, so update your will now.
PS, I'm happy to have your money and bikes to pass on to a charity.
Too much caffeine? I sometimes get anxious feelings after my tenth cup of coffee of the day. 😉

Yeah that gives me palpitations but I feel they feel different. This is very localized and as I say doesn’t affect my pulse
Sounds like the wrong place for cardiac symptoms, but I'm not a cardiologist
I get muscle twitches every so often and they can be anywhere, in any size of muscle. Ribs, groin, eyes, fingers, anywhere.
I get this.
No idea what it is.
I have had this before and I am still alive. Based on that my guess is that it isn't fatal and probably muscle twitch as it feels like an exagerated version of that which I get in my eye now and again. (Disclaimer: Even though I have been forced to watch numerous medical dramas, I am not a medical proffessional)
Scared Pigeon from an Allotment hiding in your jacket?
Did Simon Mayo put a bat up your nightdress?
Did you swallow a fly?
For me, that's an anxiety symptom. Not even sure if it's got a physical part or if it just feels like it does.

Woah! What thread have I missed now?
They were talking about it on the Trainerroad podcast once. I think they said it was the valve above the stomach fluttering due to acid something or other. Was quite a relief as at the time I'd experienced it a bit. Caffeine was a real trigger for me.
@tpbiker, thought of you yesterday when I was in A&E so am reporting in. Had an utter nightmare 24hrs that started with the fluttering in the chest, you don't need to know the detail but the outcome was that it wasn't a problem with my heart. The heart was affected but it was healthy and no sign I would suddenly keel over and die. Underlying reason still to be determined and a 24hr ECG session needs to happen but the Dr at A&E thinks it is Anxiety/stress related and not helped by caffine and alcohol. I am 48hrs in now and feel pretty normal, no flutters since bedtime last night.
If you had any worries hopefully I have done the panicing for you 🙂
*Edit* My heart was skipping a beat during the episode which is why 111 sent me to A&E

I mentioned this to my wife, not sure who decided to use the term in a positive way, it is bloody terrifying
