I have the same problem of heart flutter - like a phone vibration. It comes on very suddenly, sometimes wakes me up from sleep. I chek my BP and pulse and they are normal at that time of vibration . After the vibration subsides, it leaves pain in wrists , legs etc, I am on Metoprolol 50 MG for the past one and a hakf month now for high BP.
unfortunately i know from experience if it is not happening when they are right there they have no clue, i have have had what you are describing for years off and on, no doctor has ever been able to tell me what is going on and in my case a heart monitor showed nothing out of the ordinary, i am begining to think it might be along the lines of a panic attack, but i don't feel paniced about anything. . . good luck in your efforts
Any additional syptoms; a persistant cough (a few months), numbness in hands/fingers. Best, get GP to check, lungs, air passages and throat.
I have had "flutters" in my breasts and it happens right before I get my period. The strange part is that is almost resonates through my nipple but for just a quick moment. It is impossible to describe to doctors and others because of how oddly and quickly it happens. Any results so far?
I have the exact same symptoms that so many have described about the slight fluttering under my breast. It is kind of like my cell phone vibrating if it were in my pocket. I am hoping someone has an explanation. I am about to get on a flight and am concerned that maybe I should have gone to a cardiologist instead.
I Too have the same symptoms as you, and am on metoprolol as well as diovan. I have Afib and am on xarelto.
I just had these symptoms and have had the laptop on my lap for days...I think THAT IS IT>...Laptop on lap....WOW !! Cool thanks
Hello, this might be a year late. I am 37 years old with the same feeling. Believe it or not, the way I have noticed it would go away every time I have that feeling is, I always have Gas-X (Generic of course) on hand. When it starts up, I take 2 gel caps and 2 times a day for 3 days, it takes it away. I have no idea what it is. Blood tests, Upper GI tests conducted with X-Rays and EKGs. Everything comes back normal. I have this occur at lease 2 times a year and control it with Gas-X. Funny thing.
I have a theory as to why this "fluttering" sensation can occur in the left chest. Given that this sensation commonly occurs during anxiety, I believe that increased sympathetic input* (*see below) to the heart may be the culprit. Increased sympathetic input to the heart causes the heart to contract(beat) more powerfully, sending a local shock wave in to the muscle and tissue around the heart. This shock wave causes the local tissue and muscle to vibrate, producing this fluttering or vibratory sensation that you may feel.
*Increased sympathetic input: this can be due to a number a things - basically anything that increases your fight or flight response, such as anxiety, fear, stress, infection, stimulant medication, or any condition in which your heart must pump faster and more powerfully to provide your body with oxygen (e.g., anemia, hypovolemia, heart problems, breathing problems, etc).
