for the past three days i have been
feeling this weird fluttering vibration
just below my sternum it sort of feels
like gas. at first I didnt think anything
of It and just ignored it I thought that
it was going to go away but it wasnt and
I'm starting to get worried. this
fluttering seems to get worse with a
little bit of pain at times sometimes the
fluttering goes a way for a couple of
minutes but the discomfort is still
there.
“Weird, fluttering sensation below the
sternum” that “feels like gas” and
“a little bit of pain” indicate that
you may be experiencing possible
somatoform disorder. Somatoform disorder
is a type of neurotic disorder typical for
people your age. Stress and anxiety at
your age often manifest with symptoms that
appear to be real diseases. Nonetheless,
you can visit your primary health provider
to exclude a possible stomach disorder.
