fluttering inside my chest.



Recommended Posts

I am experiencing a fluttering sensation around my chest, the doctors say that it is not my heart i have had a ECG and all was clear, this seemed to start 2 weeks after my second fill which was 8 weeks ago also my port seems to be slightly bulging and is quiet tender, i am still able to eat most things but haven't lost any weight for 6 weeks, i am due to have my gall bladder removed on the 12th January. Has anybody had this sensation in there chest around the osophecuse area?

Thanks Jeannie.whoo.gifhelp.gif

Is it possible you are suffering panic attacks? Or are you a caffeine drinker? Both of those can cause a similar feeling.

Hope you find an answer soon!

Thanks for replying Jeanne. I have thought it may be panic attacks myself, but I am not a big caffeine drinker. I sometimes get them when I'm relaxed or quiet, but once I have had my Gall bladder removed I will see my GP if things haven't improved. I just thought it may have been the band and that others may have had similar experiences.confused.gif

By the way my name is Jeannie C also, and from the UK.smile.gifgirl_hug.gif

Ok, we have a trend, my name is Jeannie too....

Anyway, I get the fluttering in my chest on occassions, went to the doctor my first tests were fine, then they had me wear a monitor for a day and it just turned out to be an occassional extra heart beat and nothing to worry about.

Also, sometimes when I eat and it doesn't go down easy I can feel my heart beat harder in my chest....odd...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
