Can you describe in detail, exactly what you mean to convey by the word "flutter"?

1. It can mean a twiching (fasciculation).
2. It can mean an emotion of fright or anxiety.(Sympathatic Activation)
3. It can mean a feeling of inability to take a deep enough breath. (Dyspnea)
4. It can mean a stinging sensation (acid reflux)

Which of these four, sensations do you deem to be a "Flutter"?

Advice below

Detailed Answer:
You seem to be suffering from acid reflux.
May I know what medicines you have been prescribed for acid reflux? A proton pump inhibitor like pantoprazole or rabeprazole will work best for you.
Also syrup containing 'oxethazaine', 'aluminium hydroxide' and 'magnesium hydroxide' like mucaine gel will help you.

It needs to be taken twice a day, in the morning and night half an hour before food for 15 days. Get back to me for further doubts/ clarifications.
