What Causes Fluttering With Flush Sensation And Gastric Post An Injury?
Question: Good Afternoon,
I am 64yrs. old, 6'4 and 202lbs. I work out 3x per week(bike and dumb bells). Blood pressure 120/65 pulse rate 55-65. No Medication of any kind. I hurt myself lifting weights about 6-monthes ago in the esophagus area. I am much better now, but have been experiencing some sort of fluttering followed by a flush sensation and a gaseous feeling. I have had an EKG-normal. My question is this normal? My doctor says the sensation I feel is gaseous.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I carefully passed through your question and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to gastro-esophageal reflux.
I would exclude any possible cardiac causes related to this symptomatology.
Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with attending physician and performing some tests:
- a chest x-ray study
- a fibrogastroscopy to examine for gastro-esophageal reflux
- some blood lab tests ( complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate, kidney and liver function tests).
Nevertheless, it doesn't seem to be anything serious.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri

Hello again!
As your blood lab tests and chest X ray study have resulted normal the next step would be a fibrogastroscopy to investigate for possible gastro-esophageal reflux.
In this situation an antiacid would help. Ginger 500mg could also be helpful.
Another option would be PPI like lansoprasole, pantoprasole, etc.
I would also recommend avoid smoking, alcohol intake or spicy food.
