Internal tremors and fluttering near the heart?

Has anybody experienced this?

I've had internal tremors for a long time now but recently there's this weird fluttering near my heart which I sometimes feel at the pit of my stomach as well. I'm also very sleepy during the day and sometimes it feels like someone's touching my leg and arms but there's nothing there.

Yes I have and for two different reasons that I know of. One is MSG in the food, I try my best to avoid it because it messes with my heart rhythm. Having enough magnesium will help neutralize the effects of MSG. And another thing is caffeine, it can flush magnesium, potassium & other minerals out of the body and they are electrolytes that are necessary for proper heart rhythm.

@cherokeepatti Thank you Patti. I'll make sure to cut back on my caffeine.

@Maiya I eat a banana about an hour after I have coffee and also take a potassium supplement and magnesium. If I didn’t have those supplements I’d give up coffee completely, tea and cola drinks will also flush minerals. I have to be really careful in the summer because I also sweat my minerals out.

It could be either atrial fibrillation, a panic attack, or benign essential tremor.

Make sure it's not A-Fib. My mother had that, and if it's untreated you are at risk for a stroke. Make an appointment to see your doctor.

You're most likely just feeling your pulse in your abdominal aorta. ... It runs from your heart, down the center of your chest, and into your abdomen. It's normal to feel blood pumping through this large artery from time to time. However, it's sometimes a sign of something more serious. And you feeling someone's touch maybe linked to your dream and thoughts..

Do you have insomnia ?

@in10RjFox Not exactly.. I'm way too sleepy since the last two weeks.

@Maiya have you come out of a stressful period or exhaustion.. if so just let the devil take its due.

Else best to run a health check up.
