What Causes Abnormal Sensation Below Lungs?

Sometimes, when I sit, I feel like there s sudden beating between and below my lungs, somewhere in diaphragm I guess, it s not hurt or anything, it s only beating like a heart, but only once or twice per day. It has never happened before. And it starts last week. Is it normal, and what is that beating feeling exactly, and where it takes place actually, because I m not sure either, whether it s spleen or diaphragm

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, I don't think it is due to spleen or diaphragm.
In my opinion, we should rule out arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) first because this can also cause unusual beating sensations below lungs.. So consult doctor and get ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ecg).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for arrhythmia or other heart diseases.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can similar feeling.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
