Suggest Medication For Pulsating,fluttering Sensation Under The Right Rib
Hey pal, I m 16 years old and a pulsating, fluttering sensation had started under my right rib cage after I had left the shower. A few days back I had a sharp pain in the same area, but from then until now, nothing else odd has happened. Are the two circumstances connected? And if so, what on Earth is going on down there?

Hi welcome to HCM.
This could be a manifestation of underlying of heart rhythm disturbances.In your case ventricular ectopics .I advice you to have a baseline EKG and a 24hr holter EKG will help to accurately quantify the ectopics.In most cases these ectopics are benign.Drugs like beta blockers and anxiolytics can help to control the ectopics.Reduce the intake of coffee.Avoid the intake of smoking and alcohol.COnsult your doctor for further queries.
Thank you
