Heart palpitations are the sensation of your heart beating. Many patients describe a fluttering feeling in the chest area, or their heart thumping or racing. These symptoms don’t usually last too long. Show It’s worth checking your pulse at your wrist to see if the timing of the fluttering matches your heart rate. If the fluttering is regular and up to about 100 beats a minute (just under two a second) it’s rarely a cause for concern. If you have heart palpitations and any of the following symptoms – such as shortness of breath, light-headedness, chest pain or fainting – please seek emergency medical attention. These symptoms could indicate a more serious problem that should be checked by a doctor straight away. Causes of heart palpitationsThere are a number of causes of heart palpitations. You’re more likely to become aware of non-worrying causes of palpitations when you’re at rest or in bed, as it’s easy to become aware of your heartbeat then. Common causes of everyday heart palpitations include:

They’ll be able to form some simple checks to either eliminate an underlying medical condition or arrange treatment if required. This has been a weird year for me. You see when I was pregnant in 2000, I actually had pain but in the area you are describing. So, I went and had an ultra sound done. They found that my liver was bleeding and that I had an inflammed gallblader. So naturally, when I was having this "crawly" sensation when I am just doing normal life things, it began to bug me. I thought, maybe my gallbladder is acting up again. But I wasn't sure because of the other symptoms I have had prior to all that. In a four month period I have been having servere nausea that felt a lot like motion sickness. I had to go on a acid uptake medication to get that to go away. Then, my on-going Irritable bowel began to fester. I have yet to get it under control and the funny thing is.. I didn't do anything unsual with my diet but I have gained weight. In fact that is because it seems every 1 to 3 hours I am hungry again. Some times I get so bloatted I feel like I can't breath and like I am so swollen but most of the time it just feels like the area we are all describing just gets tight and stays tight and does it's crawly like thing. I had enough so I went and got the ultra sound done. Unbelieveable! they said it looked fine. All they saw was just some bowel gas and a little acid in my stomach but they did see in the ultrasound that spasm. Which was good but didn't say much. They said it had to do with my stomach and the intestines. (Where they are connected) but no information was given. As I can see by all of your comments, it probably wouldn't do me any good to go see the gasterologist. I sure the heck do not want my butt probed. I am only 40 but I am dreading going. Have you seen the movie Alien? Well I feel like one is going to pop right out of me. lol! Food I thought was the culprit but I think it does calm down if my stomach hasn't had food in it for a while and yet it never entirely goes away. I have tried many things. I have tried beano, I have tried different acid uptake recipitors and I have taken tums, anti-diarial (sorry about the spelling and grammar). I have even tried phyazime. It dosen't get rid of that weird crawly sensation. I am sure a doctor will chock it up to IBS or some other retarded thing. So when one of you gets this resolved, I want to know!I've had this on and off for the past few years as well. It helps to keep the anxiety down when you realize that so many other people experience this too. It does tend to cause anxiety because it's unnerving and you can't figure out what the heck is going on.When it first started for me, I wore a blood pressure monitor for 24 hours, and then I had a holter monitor, monitoring my heart, because I thought they were skipped heart beats. They did an ultrasound, because they were afraid it could be an aneurysm. But everything checked out fine. They finally put me on a medicine which helps with ulcers and that cleared it right up. Now it's back again, and again I'm trying to keep the anxiety down, which is what led me onto this forum. It does get worse after eating, or bending over, so I think it does have something to do with the digestive system. It's amazing the amount of trouble some tummy upset can cause. I hate it. I've been trying to make some better food choices this week and that has helped a lot. I'm choosing a salad instead of a chocolate bar. It's not quite gone yet though. But I don't think it's anything to worry about, as unnerving as it is. Having it on and off over the past few years, I'm realizing that it's not dangerous, but I never seem to get used to the sensation. It still upsets me. I just keep reminding myself of all the tests I took last year and I was okay. I still am okay, even if it does feel like a little alien is living inside of me.
