Experiencing Fluttering Sensation In Ribs. Why?

For several month s now I ve been experiencing a fluttering sensation on my upper right side just under my ribs immediately after I finish eating, There is no pain associated with the fluttering just gets me a little worried. I m a 59yo male in fair shape 66 and 170lbs no gut, but I am on 20mg Lisinopril tabs. After I walk for a while and burp quite a bit it goes away until my next meal. I do drink my fair share of water. Thanks Tony

Hi and welcome to HCM
IT MOSTLY APPEARS DUE TO MUSCULAR STIFFNESS AND ACIDITY. DONOT WORRY A SIMPLE MUSCLE RELAXANT WITH GOOD ANTACID SHOULD CURE THE PROBLEM.
SUDDEN CONTRACTION OF MUSCLES OF RIB DUE TO PROLONGED POSTURAL ABNORMALITY MIGHT BE A CAUSE.
HOWEVER CHEST X-RAY A.P VIEW IS SUGGESTED.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and informative and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care.
