Ive been having the feeling of butterflies on my left side under rib cage and sometimes it moves to the other side. but mostly on my left side. Have had Heartburn bad the last couple of days and have been nauseous throughout the day today. Have thrown up twice. Take pregnancy test - negative.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more. HERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause symptoms of heart burn, nausea, vomiting, flutters in chest etc. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in HERD. 1. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. 2. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach. 5. Go for walking after meals. 6. Quit smoking and Alcohol if you have these habits. 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.
