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...

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
