fluttering inside my chest.

[Jeanniepenini 0]

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.

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.

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

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...
