What Causes Vibration And Gurgling Sound In Chest?

I'm a 56 year old female, 5'4", 160lbs.. I have been healthy until 6 months ago when I had a physical and was told that my bad cholesterol levels were very high and I had too much fat in my blood. I have been on Crestor and Tricor since. For the last two weeks, I have been feeling a vibration or gurgling in the left side of my chest. It is not constant, but often happens throughout the day. I had an EKG done and it was normal. Anyone know what this could be?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
This might be due to gastritis.
Crestor and tricor can cause drug induced gastritis.
So better to take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination on empty stomach twice daily.
Avoid hot and spicy food.
Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
Go for walking after meals.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
