What Causes Fluttering Sensation In The Throat?
Hi I am 45, male, 6'2" 245lbs. For the least couple of weeks I have gotten a strange fluttering sensation in my throat about once per day (random times), I also have belched alot and felt some mild heartburn like pans in my stomach and chest. Just want to make sure its nothing serious. Thanks!
