What Could Cause A Flurry Feeling In The Chest?

i am a 33 year old male. A little overweight(about 30 pounds) I ve noticed lately that I get these little flurry feeling in my left chest when I sing or clear my throat. They also seem to happen if I am reaching out for something, but not as often. It doesn t feel like its my heart. It feels like it the muscles just under the surface, and if my hand is there why it happens I can feel it. Doesn t hurt at all, but feels really odd.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion it is nothing but muscle twiches, as you feel on movements mainly.
But still we need to rule out cardiac cause first as palpitations can also give similar flurry feelings. So get done ECG to rule out this.
If ECG is normal than it is mostly muscle twitch and probably pectoralis muscle.
So try to follow these to prevent muscle twitches.
1. Avoid movements causing these.
2. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise.
3. Take good muscle relaxant.
4. Apply warm water pad to the affected muscle.
