Hi,

Fluttering sensation may be due to anxiety it is called nervous stomach. Other possibilities like irritable bowel syndrome or infection or inflammatory bowel problems or hypokalemia, etc.

Avoid alcohol and smoking, avoid caffeinated drinks. Do yoga and meditation. If symptoms not improved then get it done serum electrolytes with thyroid checkup. Then consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
