Okay, I have a weird sensation &
wonder if anyone else has felt this
before. I did have gallbladder
surgery back in april, so have no idea if
there's any connection. I'm also on
prilosec otc for pain I was having in my
ribs, stomach & back recently. I
have a strange feeling just below my
sternum where it's goes into a downward v.
It feels like a spasms or vibration.
It last about 5-10 seconds. I get
it a number of times in an hour. Even
my general practitioner has no idea what
this is. It started about two weeks
ago. Had a sharp chest pain in the
middle of the night & it went away
within a few minutes. The next
morning I started to get the vibration
feeling. Few days later the vibration
was replaced with chest pains, which
seemed to be anxiety over the spasms.
Chest pain went away as my anxiety
subsided, but the vibrations are still
here. I had noticed this vibration
feeling a few times this past year, maybe
once a month, but it was never a concern,
until it started happening all the time.
It's not heart related, as I had a ekg
a couple weeks ago & this past spring
I had an ekg & wore a holter monitor.
Those tests all came back normal &
the pain was from my gallbladder. Also
this past spring had an upper endoscope
& colonoscopy & at that point
everything was good. I feel good
otherwise...
Has anyone ever experienced this before.
It's really disconcerting.
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like mycotoxin problem. Almost
all foods have fungi that released
mycotoxins. Your body is simply
reacting to the toxins relased.
Read the diet I recommend for most users
http://ehealthfo
rum.Com/health/topic48534.Html.
I'm not here to convice you but carbs
(high carb foods) feed bacteria, fungi
etc. How do I know because i've done
research this whole yaer on it. No i'm
not a doctor but I have learned a lot and
actually put it to practical use.
The diet is nothing special just normal
foods so you're not spending big amount of
money on medication.
You can try the diet if you want but i'm
not going to convince you. I'm just
letting you know what's available to you
that's all.
Good luck!

The vibrations/spasms I was experiencing
all went away while I was on a cruise
vacation in the caribbean this past week.
It was no doubt stress related, since it
had been a bad year for me. I don't eat a
lot of carbs to begin with. Actually
while on the cruise I ate more carbs then
I ever have before.

Write a diary. Write down the time and
how you felt and what you eat and drink
with the times also. Also if you expose
to chemicals like cleaning products write
it down too. A good diet is the way to
go.

My spasms were not connected to
food/drink. The pain, sickness etc I
had, because of a diseased gallbladder
were no doubt connected to the food I ate.
The spasms I had been experiencing
really started up about a week after my
husband lost his job the end of october.
On top of the fact I did just have
gallbladder surgery in april, so i've been
under a great deal of stress this past
year. So it's easy in past tense to
make the connection that the spasms came
from stress & went away on vacation.
I also use mostly natural cleaning
products. I also eat a fantastic
diet & only weigh 105 pounds.
I've actually gained ten pounds since
surgery. I feel great! I
don't even need to take the prilosec
anymore. Despite a few minor
setbacks since & because of surgery,
i'm healthier now then I have been in
years at the age of 33. I've learned
from personal experiance & from a
great deal of reading on the subject,
stress can really take a toll on your
health, & it can really mess up your
whole digestive system. So, i'm
learning to manage my stress level better.
It's working...

Weird Fluttering Posted: 01-31-06 06:14am
Me too chukis... About 5 years ago it
started, with what I described as a small
fluttering in the top right of my abdomen
just under my ribs. I used to say it felt
like a hamster running around in one of
those exercise balls....! Over the last
few years I guess it got worse, it used to
hurt as soon as I ate 'too much of'
anything or drank 'too much of' anything -
so I 'felt full'. It hurts when I lean
forward. It hurt if I lay on my right
side. I'd say "hurt" was too strong a
word - more uncomfortable, the fluttering
is more throbbing/poking/fluttering now,
and feels a little *bigger*. 3 years ago
I had tests - lots of them! Barium meal,
scans, endoscopy,liver function etc etc
all they found was a small hiatus hernia
(which I dont think caused the sensation).
What I discovered was if I lose weight
the feeling disappeared... I did and it
did for a year or two... Ive put on
weight again now, and its back... Docs
trying me on lansoprazole(sp?) for the
hernia for 2 weeks, but if that doesnt
work, more tests. He thinks it might be
gallstones..
Good luck!!

I started having the same symptoms quite
recently, over my right breast. It
happens almost all the time. At first I
thought I have my cellphone in my pocket
although the sensation is very slight. I
started looking up symptoms for breast
cancer. I was relieved my symptom was not
one of them. I feel relieved that there
are other people with the same experience.
I have been under a lot of stress lately.
Coming to think of it, I started feeling
the fluttering after my father took ill
and had to be admitted in the hospital for
the first time in his life. I was very
worried. I hope it goes away.

Thank God, I Thought I Was Crazy!!! Posted: 03-01-06 00:41am
I'm a 31 year old that has anxiety. The
anxiety is under control now with the help
of meds, pretty much non exisant. About
2mos. Ago I started feelingpain/aches in
the back of my ribs and upper stomache,
along with chest pains. All came and went
with no consistency. The doc said to take
anti-inflamitories for two weeks, but
couldn't really find anything wrong. So 2
weeks ago I started getting that weird
fluttery twitchy feeling, which I thought
was weird, but went along with my day.
Now it's comming way more frequently, and
is starting to freak me out. I don't feel
sick. But because of my anxiety, I start
to panic. Why would something like this
just start happening, so out of the blue.
I'm tired of the run around with the
doc's. It seems that I spend thousands to
just find out nothing is ever wrong, or
they make me feel like it's all imagined.
I'm very frustrated! Any answers or
advice? Sure would appreciate it.

Flutters In Chest Posted: 03-18-06 18:25pm
I always thought these flutter-like
sensations in my chest area are esophogeal
spasms. I only have them occasionally,
but they really freak me out and seem to
give me some serious anxiety! Doc says it
is probably my esophogus reacting to
something i've eaten recently. Hope this
helps.

Fluttering In My Upper Stomach Region Posted: 10-31-07 12:21pm
Ladies I am feeling the same thing. It
started about a month ago. Then stopped
for a week. Now its back fluttering harder
then ever. This is weird. I had a friend
that had gullstones and that was one of
the symptoms like a baby kicking lightly.
All I know is I am healthy. When I get
them they fell like my upper region is
having some sort of a spasm..... just like
that other person described it felt like a
hamster running around. I am not getting
any pain that I notice at the moment. I
know I am not pregnant thats for sure!
