Could Gas Cause Fluttering Sensation In Stomach?

58 yr old male. Been having a fairly constant flutter in what appears to be my upper left portion of my stomach. No pain or other gas related symptoms. It is just annoying. Usually I can even see the movement on my stomach wall. Been going on sporadically for about a month now.

Hi,

Further details are needed to a better judgement:
- does the fluttering sensation appears after eating or after doing any other physical activity?
- are you also having shortness of breathe?
- any other symptom (nausea, changes in bowel movements)?

The constant fluttering sensation could be related to:
- gastric problems (GERD, gastritis)
- heart problems (arrhythmia)
- neurological problems

Further investigations are needed:
- upper endoscopy
- abdominal ultrasound
- EKG
- Holter monitoring
- stress test
- Ct-scan of spinal cord (thoracic and lumbar section)

Hope it helped!
