Fluttering sensation under the right rib. Should I be concerned ?

I am experiencing a fluttering sensation under my right rib, toward my back. Though not painful It is chronic and is quite distressing. I am a female, 55 years old. Should I be concerned? What should I ask my doctor about this? Thank you.

IT MOSTLY APPEARS DUE TO MUSCULAR STIFFNESS AND ACIDITY.DONOT WORRY A SIMPLE MUSCLE RELAXANT LIKE RICLOFEN WITH GOOD ANTACID SHOULD CURE THE PROBLEM.
SUDDEN CONTRACTION OF MUSCLES OF RIB DUE TO PROLONGED POSTURAL ABNORMALITY MIGHT BE A CAUSE.
HOWEVER CHEST X-RAY A.P VIEW IS SUGGESTED.
