What Causes A Fluttering In The Abdominal Area?
I am getting fluttering in my upper center right abdominal area that is not painful but at times strong and takes my breathe. It is on and off but some days consistent. This has been going on for 3 weeks and has been happening more frequently. I went to the doctor anout 2 weeks ago and my bloodwork was good. What could this be?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
IT is possibly due to an inflammatory process going on in this area.
I would advise you to undergo ultrasonography first to see that the liver , gall bladder and pancreas are normal.
Then an X-ray Of the chest to see there is some problem in the lower lungs or the pleural cavity as effusion or so.
Only blood work will not not give any idea.
