Fluttering sensations around the heart

This is really hard to explain. I have this sensation in my left-chest area that feels sort of like a "flutter," but yet not. It reminds me of the sensation of when a circuit is short-circuiting in the on/off -- on/off phase, or better yet the way a phone feels when you have it in your pocket and set to vibrate..the on/off -- on/off thing. There is no pain, but the sensation is there and getting more persistent.

Hello,
I read your post and wanted to write as I have the exact same symptoms as you mention; in fact I was amazed as I read your description about the phone being on vibration... This is how I always described it myself! Have you learned anything about this? It's been bothering me for some time now and decided to do some research on the net before heading to the doctor. I would appreciate it if you had anything to share. My email: ******* -- Many thanks - Tony

same description: buzzing/vibrating sensation in left breast/chest

I too am having this it just started over the weekend. It doesnt happen all the time, it comes and goes. I never know when it is going to happen but it makes me nervous. I am however going to go get my back adjusted and go from there. I have been exposed to lots of knowledge about the spine and how it affects other parts of the body. So, if this works I will post it. Nothing at this point can hurt. I dont have insurance and dont go to the dr but a back adjustment is only $20.00. I will reply.

I am a 44 year old male and have had this fluttering in my chest for a very long time. four months ago it became more agressive throughout the day so i saw my doctor and he sen me for some tests EKG, ECHOCARDIAGRAM, and a 24 hour moniter. everything came back ok. last friday my wife and i were walking in sams shopping and I had this fluttering in my chest and became very dizzy almost blacking out and felt like someone was squeezing my entire body. I became very weak and started sweating heavily.i spent 2 days in the hospital having a cat scan of my brain,chest xrays,all kinds of bloodwork,arteries in my neck scanned,thiroid checked and a nuclear stress test and nothing was found. this is driving me crazy I need to know what is causing this and get it fixed. my colesteral and trigliserides were a little high and i have high blood pressure but my entire stay in the hospital it was nearly perfect.I am currently wearing a 30 day moniter in hopes of finding what this is .

I have been having the quivering/vibrating sensation described (more notable in left breast) off and on for months now. Has anyone had any "luck" finding out what it might be?
When I'm using my laptop at night, I have a bad habit of slumping down in bed, resting the laptop on my stomach (up against my breats). I've felt computer "electricity" from another person (a number of times) who was touching their laptop and my arm at the same time (they felt it too). Anyone care to weigh in on computer proximity and symptoms? I'm going to experiment and note any difference.
