tickle in the chest and gas?

dorothy said:

I was wondering if there is any associatin between getting a tickle in
the chest when you have gas, and any possible disorder. I also notice
it more when I lay on my side when I am going to sleep.

Also I used to think I had sleep apnea because every once in awhile I
will get this feeling like I can't move when I'm sleeping -- sort of
like I'm struggling to get a breath -- it used to only happen when I
was lying on my back, but the other night it happened when I was
sleeping on my stomach. This only happens about every 6 mos.

Thanks,

dorothy

Sounds like palpitations to me.

Dr. C.,

Thanks for the reply. Don't palpitations feel like iregular
heartbeats, or pounding heartbeats? I used to get those "flutter
beats" all the time when I had gas, now it seems to have mutated to a
tickle. I don't feel the heartbeat -- just a tickle -- when laying on
my side it's more like a VERY faint spasm....

Thanks,

dorothy

Varies from individual to individual.
