Fluttering Sensation At Bottom Of Rib Cage. Doing Heavy Lifting. Anything To Worry?
I have a fluttering sensation at the bottom [underneath] of my left rib cage. It has been going on for the past week. I don't go an hour without the sensation. I'm a 22 year old male, 120lbs, daily smoker (about a pack a day.) I do not have any past heart issues. I do not take any over the counter or prescribed medicine. I work everyday on my feet for 7-9 hours at a time, heavy lifting. Is this something i need to worry about?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
You are heavy smoker, so of course you have to take this complain seriously, you will have to go for x-ray study of chest, if turned negative then it is okay, then it could be nonspecific kind of twitching, or may be acid peptic disease (due to heavy smoking) cut down your fag, change your life style, have nice day.
