What Causes Sporadic Fluttering In Diaphragm While Having Cardiac Stents Inserted?
My husband had two cardiac stents inserted last April. He is doing very well and there have been no complications. Over the past two days he has developed short and sporadic fluttering in his diaphram. Each incident lasts about 2-3 seconds. He has experienced 5-7 incidents per day. We called his doctor who does not seem too concerned. What is causing this. What are the possible contributory factors?

Hi,
It has no relation to his stents and heart problems. It may be a muscle pain or a gastrointestinal disturbance.
Take care
Come back if you have any further questions
