What Causes Fluttering Sensation Under Left Rib Cage While Coughing?

We should first rule out any heart or lung issues.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, it could be a sprain.
But I would be more comfortable if I could rule out any heart or lung issues first.
I suggest you see your GP or a Physician and get an ECG and Chest XRay done.
This will broadly be able to tell whether all is well with your heart and lungs.
You also might require a 2D Echocardiogram but that would depend upon your Heart rate, BP and ECG report. If there is any abnormality in these three then a 2D Echo would be indicated.
So, please get these done and then we can think of muscular causes of the chest wall which can be managed with foamentation and anti-inflammatory medicines.
Do let me know the reports and I would be able to guide you further as to what should be done.
Take care,
