I have flipflop, thumping heartbeat or fluttering under right & left rib cage. It is there more often after I have my strong chest pains, [which I get every two days or so]. I have rheumatic heart disease, so just wondering if this is the cause?? At least I ll be rest assured then. Thankyou in advance.
Yes. . you're right. . R H D might have damaged your heart valves so badly that your heart is strained to pump your blood. . Get immediately 2D ECHO done and consult your teatime cardiologist without any delay
