What Causes Fluttering Below Heart?
I have been having flutters that feel just below my heart for about 3 weeks now I exercise 6 days a week and am in great shape, no supplements or medications, non smoker, no previous health issues. Seem to be more prevalent when I sit or lay down. Feelslike it is just below rib cage.

Hello,
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that fluttering sensation can there because of anxiety, dehydration, anemia, hormonal imbalances or underlying heart disease.
It’s recommended for you to get an ECG and echocardiography done and consult a physician personally for proper physical and diagnostic evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
