THROAT FLUTTER

Hi All,

Just wondered if anyone experienced a fluttering sensation in their throat that is not heart related?
Is this common? It feels like a butterfly sensation and then I feel a burst of air in my throat and it happens in seconds..
I often also get a sensation in my chest like something needs to pop when I have gas build up. This build up happens often and I need to walk around rubbing my tummy until I burp. When I do often times its not very big but it relieves the pressure I felt. I very easily get this gas build up and avoid any gassy foods.

Thanks!

Are you sure it's not heart-related? You'd need a Holter monitor to catch it if it's not going on when you see the cardiologist. That doesn't always work either. Since the recording is sent by cell phone signal, and I'm in a dead area, I was always told nothing happened and I was fine, until I had a heart attack.

Burping is one way to give yourself a Valsalva Maneuver. Look that up. I used to try to force up a burp until I found I was having supraventricular tachycardia triggered by specific food triggers. It went away when I learned to avoid those foods.

Check your pulse when you get the next "butterfly."
