Isolated muscle: Twitches or fasciculations are common and usually not serious.

Question 3

fluttering sensation in stomach area, what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Intestines/Stomach: In your gut are the organs and the intestines.  Air, fluid and waste move through them. If there is an infection or irritation the normal processes may be interrupted, interfered with or changed.  Swelling happens, fluids don't absorb as well and what is moving through is looser than normal.

: This appears to be an irritable lumbar muscle or superficial nerve causing twitching. Since you're not experiencing any pain at this time I doubt other pathology and I expect.it will resolve rather soon.

Question 7

havng a fluttering sensation in upper chest 1 or 2 tyms a day.no pain or diziness  just makes little worry. hve been observing this since 1 month.

Accepted Answer

Fluttering: I would not worry. If it only lasts a few seconds and is not associated with pain, pressure in your chest, difficulty breathing, sweating, nausea or vomiting it could simply be some abnormal beats which happens. Mention it to your GP and they will check an ECG. http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/guide/what-causes-heart-palpitations#1
