Whats the difference between muscle spasm and a flutter in your chest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Flutter may b seriou: People use the term "flutter" do describe different feelings in their chest. A spasm in chest wall muscle is benign and can give a sensation of flutter. More serious causes can be related to abnormal heart rhythms or palpitations. If you are experiencing these you should speak to your physician.
