| Re: Burbles are Changing: Now Feels Like a Heart Thing
I have the same thing. Burbles/fluttering/gurgling feeling on left side of my chest. I seem to notice it fluttering as I breathe in and out, like the air is making something "flap in the breeze"! Dr. seems to think it's all reflux related. I've had several tests to rule out any problems with heart or lungs. I was taking prevacid for a few weeks, but talked to my chiropractor, who is also a naturopath, about my problems and he said that the vast majority of people with reflux problems don't really have a problem with too much acid, but too little! He has helped me to wean off of the prevacid and take a hydrochloric acid supplement with meals. This has helped, but I'm still not over the burbles. I just saw the chiropractor again yesterday and he thinks my stomach is still a little irritated, gave me some kind of a gastric repair supplement to help sooth tummy and intestines. I think I'm going to try a round of acupuncture too. Anyhow, I'm better, and certainly not any worse off than when I was on the prevacid and I'd rather go with the natural treatments than screw my body up more with ppi's. We'll see what happens. I would just love for the fluttering to stop. It's so disconcerting. Good luck with your dr. Hope you get some answers.
