What Causes Fluttering From The Neck Down The Arm?

I have recurring fluttering beginning in my right side of neck near collar bone and traveling down my right arm. It does not hurt, but odes make me worry. Do you have any idea if this is something I should be concerned about or should see a doctor about. I have blood work done every 4 months because my doctor is monitoring uric acid levels and triglycerides. I have been suffering episodes of gout since last April with antiinflamatory drugs helping, recently.

Welcome to healthcare magic! It may be indicative of cervical spondylosis. Get your cervical spine X-ray done. Sometimes the nerve root compression caused by osteophytes( degenerative changes in disc) cause this type of symptoms.
