Is Rheumatic Heart Disease The Causes For Flattering Heart Beat Under The Ribcage?
I have flipflop, thumping heartbeat or fluttering under right & left rib cage. It is there more often after I have my strong chest pains, [which I get every two days or so]. I have rheumatic heart disease, so just wondering if this is the cause?? At least I ll be rest assured then. Thankyou in advance.
