Hi,
The fluttering feeling in your upper stomach could be related to hypotension. I'd suggest to measure your blood pressure when you have such feeling to evaluate if the result is low or within normal ranges.
To avoid hypotension, I'd suggest to:
- drink more water/fluids
- have your meals regularly (do not skip any)
- have a coffee/day
- avoid processed/junk foods;eat more healthy foods
- avoid eating garlic
If the symptoms persists, I'd suggest to consult a cardiologist to monitor your Blood pressure and do further examinations.
Take care!
