For the past 3 weeks I’ve noticed that throughout the day I have a sensation of my heart fluttering. I can’t think of a better way to describe it, but my heart isn’t racing, just feels like it is fluttering. I don’t get short of breath, but sometimes it makes me feel a little lightheaded. At first I thought the cause could be caffeine, so for 2 weeks I haven’t consumed caffeine, but I still get this sensation several times throughout the day.
A week ago, in addition to this fluttering sensation, I’ve had a feeling of heaviness in my chest. It’s not that noticeable until I take a deep breath. Then it feels like how you might feel if you took a run outside in the cold. I don’t have a runny nose or cold or anything either.
I am a bit overweight, but I’ve been eating balanced meals (grilled chicken salads, fish, etc..) for the past few weeks and drinking a lot of water, along with exercising at least 40 minutes everyday. I don’t have GERD or Asthma and I was wondering what the cause could possibly be?
Thanks!
Thanks for your answers everyone! I don’t really have allergies until midsummer, but I’ll ask my doctor. I haven’t had anxiety problems in years and I’m not under stress and pretty happy I can’t get a doctors appointment until Thursday. I take a walk/light jog every morning or evening (after work). Perhaps my heart is getting back in shape. Would that make it feel like it’s fluttering 4-5x day?

recurrent back pain/pinched nerve on the left side. recently no pain but i developed numbness in back.
an annoying sore/tender spot on my head on the left. sometimes it feels hot or swollen. (noticed 2 yrs ago. the dermatologist said it was"irritated" & not to worry bout it.)
then last november i had BAD skin problems. dry spots (eczema?) that when scratched turned into sores that wouldn’t heal. i never had skin problems before. the derm said it DIDN’T look like shingles but the wounds wouldn’t completely heal til i tried taking valtrex.
sometimes my thinking is fuzzy & i feel fatigued or "off".
last year i was diagnosed with GERD. & i was having bad sharp pain in guts on my left side. i would get also get a "fluttering" feeling on the left. upper endoscopy showed inflammation but no clear reason why.
about 2 yrs ago i had a problem with muscle control over my right eye, it was drooping a bit.
had a few "panic attacks" last yr
i often catch sinus/throat infections
i have tried eating healthy things & drinking lots of water & green tea. i am working out a few times a week now. my overall energy strength & health isimproved but there is SOMETHING going on that i don’t think diet is gonna fix.

I was fine all morning and then i ate some breakfast,minutes later I felt a little nausiated.Since then my chest has started to hurt and there is a pressure in the middle of my chest.I also feel very exhausted but i did go to bed at 3:44 am and got up at 9.Anyway i got scared the last time this happened so I rushed to the doc and he hooked me to an EKG/ECG and said my heart was fine he told me its probably H-PYLORI and gave ne ant-acids..anyway its really scarey cuz when i look up my symptoms the whole net points to heart attack the pressure comes in waves right in the center of my chest,.And i feel as if the back of my throat has been tainted by acid.almost as if im gonna have an acidic burp?????

This started early morning on July 4

my symptoms are:
-feels like there’s something in my throat
-when I lie down on my back it feels as if my throat is closing up when I start relaxing and so I can’t sleep
-when I swallowed food/water its as if there was something there that was blocking the passage

I don’t know if this is just allergies because of the season, but regarding the acid reflux I’m suppose to taste something foul in my mouth or food comes back up but that hasn’t happened to me.

For the past few days I haven’t been very active, could this be a reason why? And I also experience a lot of stress. I also have angular cheilitis (lesions on the corner of my mouth) but it’s healing. I also haven’t been able to sleep well at night and take naps in the morning instead.

Could someone tell me what this might be?

at last 9month check up doctor said one leg a little longer than the other and didnt have a pop when checking his hips"X-ray’s" came back negitive for displasha.
*when in his jumper or bouncer his feet touch the ground but only one foot rest flat othe is kinda a dead leg just hangs their or he will only stand on his tippy toes on that side
*every time i change him as soon as i lay him down on his back he rolls over within seconds if you try to keep him still facing belly up he acts as if his in pain and isnt comfortable unless on his tummy
*when he moves army crawl but only with one leg that pushes the other one just seems to be dragging along same one that is dead in jumper
*he will crawl for a few feet then go on his side take a break for a second then crawl some more or he will stop to suck his thumb or put his head down and suck his thumb as if his sucking in the pain.
He had pyloric stenosis when he was born then had bad reflux gerd and hasnt had alot of problems since except a rash on his mouth and under his nose red dots doctor said it was eczema but thats what he said about the stuff behind his ear wich came off in the bath it was old oatmeal. please help me if you can guess by experince or education i dont think anyone at my doctors office knows what they are doing

I’ve been sick for about a week and a half and I’m considering going to a doctor soon

I thought it was very minor. I have been having acid reflux, heart burn, gas pains in random spots, constipation, my back was feeling tingly or numbish for a while. Now my tongue is white.

I may have GERD, but I dont know why that would make my tongue white or give me constipation.

My heart was beating really fast today and I think it was an anxiety attack… i have also been stressed lately and some minor depression but the depression went away. I am usually stressed thinking about what this could be.

thanks.

(please dont say see a doctor, that’s pretty obvious and im going to see one soon.)
oh and today I woke up with horrible breath.

I have also been taking tums for the acid. it seemed to work, but it has calcium(?) in it and that may be causing a symptom…(constipation?)
im also 16 years old.

This actually started 8 days ago… Not a week and a half yet. I was just waiting to see if it would pass.

I haven’t pooped in 3 days.. around the time i started taking tums.

could it be an ulcer?

I also get random nausea like when I have an anxiety attack.. mostly from looking up symptoms.. which is normal.

My feel also were sweating but felt cold? lol
And most of the pain goes away when i pass gas, but the tingly in the back just comes and goes.
and there have been no SERIOUS bend over crying while thinking.. am I dying pain.

No blood in my stool, (well.. since three days ago when i saw it last..) no blood when I throw up. and no pain when i eat.

my throat feels small sometimes but i think thats anxiety.

my breaths also dont feel full.
I’m not sure about that, I haven’t eaten much lately, I have no appetite. I usually eat one meal a day. And drink lots of water lately.

I don’t think I’m eating enough of anything for it to be a food sensitivity. Because even if I don’t eat for a whole day it still hasnt left.

in may 2007 i noticed i was very fatigued. when i moved around my joints got very weak and i had to sit down. 1 night i got very weak and my face got numb and i had trouble breathing i wen 2 the ER and they just did i BP test and it was normal and told me 2 go home. I went 2 my doc the next day and noticed i was a little stiff in my ankles and spine, but i streched and it went away. the doc did a thyroid and mono test, all negative. Then my other joints were stiff, wristis,fingers,elbow,ankle,knees,toes,n… spine. also i was experincing tingling in hands and feet. i went 2 a neurologist and did a MRI of brain, it was normal. i saw all the M.D’s at my docs office they didnt no. i was getting stomach infections like GERD,gastritis. i still get nause when i eat. i finally saw a rumotologist and did some exams and he thinks i my have sernegative spondylarthopthy he gave me some anti-inflamitories and order a spine x-ray and a HLA B27 blood work. plzz i am only 14i want some answer
tingling in hands and feet stoped

One of the symptoms of gastroparesis is the regurgitation of solids after eating. One of the symptoms of GERD is the regurgitation of bile and digested foods. I often have slight regurgitation an hour or two after eating. The regurgitated product is not made up of pure solids, but it is not pure liquid either. It is significantly acidic and contains some solids, as well as liquid. Does this sound like gastroparesis or GERD?

I’ve had a GERD/asthma combination for about a year and a half now. I recently started feeling really out of breath and attributed it to eating poorly and so close to bed. A week ago I started avoiding food triggers and taking Prilosec. But my breathing only seems to have gotten worse. (can’t een take walks anymore.)

2 days ago I started getting really lethargic and fatigued, even though I was getting between 7-8 hours of sleep. Today I went to the er to get checked out and my chest x-rays looked ok but my D-Dimer came back at 1.0, which is abnormal.

They said it probably isn’t pulminary embolism because my heart rate is low and normal and I don’t get sudden out of breath breathing, it’s more constant.

Does it seem related to heart disease or a heart valve problem? The fatigue and D-Dimer result?
Wow, thanks Pixie Chick. To answer some questions, I’m a 28 year old white female. Overweight, non-smoker, non-drinker, and have recently started taking long walks after being holed up for months. I don’t have a family history of heart disease, only high blood pressure (which I don’t have…108/74 tonight. Heart rate between 55-65 tonight, resting, oxygen 99-100.) I guess they didn’t do an EKG this time around, but now I wish they had. They seemed ery convinced that this breathing aggravation has been caused by having untreagted asthma with increasing GERD. But that doesn’t seem to explain all of the fatigue, which I seem to think could be related to heart.

I had a chest x-ray which they said was just fine (no fluid in longs, etc) Can they also see if the heart is enlarged? And if i haven’ t had any recent trauma or surgery, where else could a 1.0 D-Dimer come from? I’ve been in the er before with bad asmtha symptoms but D-Dimer always ok.

Hello , ive been having these pains in my upper left quad area ( ribs,side and flank area ) all on left side. sometimes i have them for a few wks to almost months . then the pain eases up . it sometimes feels like i got punched on that side and its tender and sore , it will hurt to bend. its been going on and off for the last 3-4 yrs now . I am on Prilosec for GERD . I notice that if i miss a dose or 2 i get a heavy feeling in my chest and get heartburn real bad. Now i havent really had bad pains for awhile until just the other night when i noticed after i had made fried chicken tenders and french fries that the pain came on and it feels like someone just kicked my left side . i also noticed this morning that when i went to the bathroom , my stool looked like a big grease ball . when i cough my left side hurts , when i take a big deep breath it hurts, also have bad gas . My doc kept telling me its prob a muscle thing . But i think it may be something dif. Now that i put it all together its sounding more and more like a diagestive problem or poss. my gallbladder . I dunno though , so if anyone out there has had that same sypmtoms or similier ones please i would like to know what it may be ….

Thank you …
