i have this strange \"flutterting\" sensation in my chest/abdomen area that seems to come and go, but if i had to pin point it, seems to happen more often, if not ALWAYS after i eat something??...thought for sure it was my heart or heart palpatations, but my primary doctor says nothing out of ordinary when i get EKG yearly with my physical and he even made me wear this device for 2 weeks to monitor my heart and all was normal....any ideas on what this is??
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on ChatDoctorI passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to gastroesophageal reflux or indigestion. The fact that your Holder monitoring has resulted normal, it means that cardiac arrhythmia has been excluded. The fact that your symptoms are triggered by eating, is another fact in favor of gastroesophageal reflux. Anxiety can not be excluded either. Anyway, I would recommend performing a fibrogastroscopy to investigate for reflux or hiatal hernia. An anti-acid or PPI (omeprazole, pantoprazole) would help improve your situation. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Wishing good health,
