Fluttering sensation under rib cage

Ironically this is also happening to me on an off the last couple of days. I've also had a migraine for about a week. Blah. I'm thinking maybe electrolyte imbalance.

Weird shuttering/fluttering feeling just under breast on right side. Wondering if I should see the doctor. Frustrating :/

hi , am male , age 25 , am getting severe pain under the right side rib cage ,,, while am in bus journey i cant sit ,,, it will be paining ,,, some times it feels twisting in that palce ,,, whats the treatment for ,, please help me

I ate bananas today right before experiencing this for the first time hmm

Hi Jmp, I also thought it was my heart, I had the event monitor on for a month, came back normal. I had and echo done and that too came back normal. I just kept thinking it was my heart. But this morning when I felt it for real without coughing (which in my mind I always figured it was my heart and I would cough to get it started again) well this time I didnt cough and the area was right where everyone else is saying. I also have acid refulx and I am on 20mg of Omperazole so i'm actually wondering if it has anything to do with that seeing that the stomach is also in that area. Just scary cause sometimes it takes my breathe away.

I am concerned about this fluttering under my right breast upper rib cage area. I made an appointment with my medical center but it comes and goes for several weeks, I know I
have been extremely full of gas in my body and I also have been doing some sit ups I don't know what may be causing these symptoms but I am considering going to urgent care to see exactly what these symptoms are. I have been under a lot of stress and feeling very nervous, my right eye have been twitching as well. I am going to put this thing to rest and go see a doctor I can't seem to put my finger on what this could be it came out of nowhere...

I also get them while laying on my side. I wonder what the reasoning behind these symptoms are? My heart beat is irregular sometimes to especially while laying down.... I do smoke marijuana on the daily! Could this be a cause for all this?

There is no aspirin in ibuprofen.

I have been lazy all winter and live on ground level, so I haven't even been going up any stairs. I move slowly and purposely usually, and am prone to aches and pains at 41, so feel I'm always trying to be "careful". Last couple months I've had tremendous stress ("up against deadlines" kind of stress) with work. I'm moving and trying to do a lot at once, including painting the new place. In the last week, I have done way too much work (compared to sitting around all winter). I took multiple trips to hardware stores, lifted paint cans, did a lot of painting. After doing high spots and low spots yesterday for 3.5 hours, bending and standing, squatting, and crawling on floor to do trim, moving ladder, etc, I came home and felt like my legs were in a lot of muscle pain. Today, I felt a noticeable sensation, almost a "twitch" while driving. The sensation is ON my side. I mean directly on my side, as if you're reclining on the couch and reach your left arm all the way across your stomach and wrap your hand around your side. Where your fingertips stop is right where the twitching (or "mini popping" or spasms) is. The sensation makes me cringe. It doesn't hurt at all. I may feel nothing for a minute, then feel several spasms, say one per every few seconds. I tried ice and it did nothing. 10 "twitches" a minute (I timed it). I can't "find" it with my fingertips either. It feels like it is right on the surface of, or just between or around the surface of my rib bone. Follow your right rib with your fingertips and ride the rib up to your side and stop. Its right there. It's ridiculous.

Worse still I have costochondritis in my left side ribs. Costo is a sharp pain felt directly below your breast, causing extreme pain upon moving, breathing, coughing, crouching and the like. Last night after painting, my costo got bad. Today its a bit better, but now the twitches on other side. I can only attribute all of this to high stress and putting too much strain on my body when I wasn't used to doing so much manual labor. I imagine too that since I rolled the heavy paint roller with my right hand up and down walls, that section of my right dide was in constant movement. It makes me almost want to grab something as heavy as a paint roller loaded with paint, and simulate painting to see if it stops. It does seem to settle a little when walking.

Hope this helps. It's April 2017.

One more thing, if any of you have costochondritis, Steve August is the name of the guy who explains why it happens... Something with a jammed "joint" in your spine causing the rib that meets it to be out of whack and pulling it in the front, resulting in friction and pain). Costochondritis, while having different symptoms as we have on this post, is extremely painful and can also happen to people who work out, or lift a gallon of milk the wrong way. What Costo is is a rubbing of cartilage usually felt right smack below your left breast (it can also be in the center of your chest I believe). You'll put your finger tips right where an under wire bra would be, and press gently and feel pain in the area of, or directly on the bone.

Costochondritis is common. Hospitals will tell you to take Advil / Ibuprofen and ice it. I say ice it if its a new flare up, but if its been going on a while, use one of those hot neck buddies that you heat up in microwave. This is what helped me:
1) Warm the neck buddy.
2) Recline on your couch with your back to the arm of the couch, and your legs stretched out down the couch. Get comfy.
3) Place your fingers on your costo pain (for example, under your left breast) and see if you can follow that rib around to your spine and find out where it attaches. If you're in too much pain to reach around just go to step 4.
4) Take the U-shaped neck buddy (some may also look like long stuffed socks with tiny beads or sand-like material in them). Bend it to bring both sides together side by side. You're aiming to create a mass with the neck buddy, which will be the "lump" you gently lean back on.
5) Place the neck buddy dead center of your spine, rested on the arm of the couch. (Have someone help if you're having a hard time moving.) It will be positioned as if a pillow would be positioned under your back. Lean back gently on it.
6) This is going to hurt a bit. You're trying to loosen up whatever is "stuck" in your spine while putting a little pressure and heat on it. If at all possible, recline yourself a little more, or even tilt your head back just slightly, applying even more pressure. Not too much so you're in tears. Just enough to get that "lump" dead center in your spine. MOVE SLOW AT ALL TIMES.
7) Stay still for about 20-30 min. Take it off and let yourself cool. Do it again a few more times. If it backfires, and gets worse, just try again tomorrow and rest yourself.

Tips: 1) Don't sit up using your ab muscles while in a costochondritis flare up. Roll over and slowly raise yourself. 2) Down a bunch of water when it hurts. Dehydration could be worsening it even if you don't believe you may be dehydrated. 3) Stay warm. Tightening up from cold will not be fun. 4) Don't drive long periods. Take a day off and recline and be good to yourself. 5) See a physical therapist. Only see a chiropractor if you implicitly trust them. No one wants to be cracked when they have Costochondritis. The very thought is cringe worthy. 6) Take Advil to decrease inflammation.

You won't go getting better by working out. You will worsen the problem. You need as much rest as possible and really baby it. There's plenty of time to catch up on housework once you're healed up. So it is time to give yourself a break until the pain is gone. If and when it comes back, repeat the steps.

I have been having a lot of fluttering under my right breast mostly at night. Sometimes during the day. Not sure what is going on. It's a strong flutter.

I'm not sure what's the cos but its started today n I have started taking flu medication for three days after which I have been taking paracetamol so I think its a education reaction

BABY KICKS Thats the only way i can describe it too

I'm also 14 and having this issue. Glad I'm not the only teen having this issue

Sounds like anxiety buddy. I get the same it's a nightmare. They're not bad for you at all, just need to get your head round them. The fear of you having another makes you anxious, anxious that you could have another panic attack. They're horrible

I went to dr. Said it was from fatty liver. Stop drinking and eat less fat. I notice it gets worse when my diet is not healthy. Eating too much bread and greasy food without adequate fruits and veggies. Seems to affect digestion. Worse when im a little backed up. I now drink a green smootie at the start of the day to aid digestion.
