What Causes Fluttering Feeling Below The Breast?
I recently bruised my ribs (6 days ago) doctors at a&e were happy my organs were OK. Today, I started feeling rattling on left side of chest, right below my breast. I can feel it when I out my hand there too. It only happens when I take deep breaths, in and out. I do a lot of running and exercise, which I m adament I won t stop doing. Is there any need to worry about this?
