Posted on Fri, 24 Jan 2014
Question: Hello. I have had a girgling or a fluttering in my chest area directly under my breast for three days now pretty consistent. I have had this in the past, but it would only last for a second before and now it lasts for several minutes all through the day. Any ideas?
