What Causes Dizziness And Motion Sickness With Flutters In Abdomen?

Hi, I keep getting like a ticklish/fluttering feeling around the left hand side of my upper abdomen, and feeling really sick, light headed and motion sickness. The ticklish feeling is there every 30 seconds or so. My GP recently diagnosed me with having labyrinthitis but Ive no idea what this fluttering sensation is and Im becoming concerned. Im 40 years old (and its not pregnancy!). Please help!

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Read and understood your history of ticklish/fluttering feeling around the left hand side of your upper abdomen, and feeling really sick, light headed and motion sickness. You have been already diagnosed as Labyrithitis and it does not cause such a problem.
The most probable cause of such a problem can be severe gastritis with esophagitis and the fluttering can be due to the irritation from behind the viscera,
I would advise you the following:
Upper GI Endoscopy
Ultrasonography of the abdomen
Tests of blood particularly serum electrolytes, as changes in electrolyte balance too can cause fluttering.
Once diagnosed, to get an appropriate treatment.
