Weird buzzing feeling left side of my chest under breast.

Posted , 54 users are following.

Hey guys,

For the last couple of months I have been experiencing a weird symptom.  When I lay down sometimes I get this weird vibrating feeling on the left side of my chest it’s in the are under my breast. It last one second there’s no pain but it does wake me up from my sleep, I get scared about it because I don’t know if it’s my heart but it doesn’t feel like a palpitation it’s more like a buzzing feeling. Also it only happens as I’m falling asleep.

Does anyone have this,

    I suggest you speak to a doctor about this. It doesn't sound dangerous at all, but just to make sure, speak with a professional. Good luck and take care. x

    Does it happen as you breathe?  I had this as a child and the doctors never could figure it out.  About once a year I still get it.  For myself, it always did it just for a split second on an inhale.  Sometimes a few inhales in a row as a kid.  Always very hard to catch as an adult because it never would do it when I was expecting it.  Anyways started when I was 5 and I am now in my mid 40's.  I think it may have something to do with phlegm build up or perhaps a narrow passage in my lung.  It is always in the same spot and feels like bubbles.  Had soooo many tests over the years nothing was ever found.  See a doctor about it. if they can't find anything don't worry about it.

    Hi Laura, 

    I've been feeling that for about a week now.  I'm freaking out!  I'm tempted to go to the ER.  Did you find anything out about those feelings?

    Please let me know!!!!

    Hi Laura. I have the same buzzing on left of chest,.not in my chest but sort of, In my breast, pec, muscle. I'm a 64 yr old man, fairly fit and active. No pain or other problems. Had this for about 6 months and ,recently, it's happening several times each hour. Doc has no ideas. Had ecg, blood tests, heart monitor for 24 hrs, and I'm absolutely fit. Seems like hundreds of people get this but no good diagnosis. I think it might be a spinal glitch which sets up vibration in an intercostal muscle but what do I know!!! It is worrying though and I'd like stop it happening.

    i think that it is indeed generated from the spine. I have been experiencing this ever since i had a cervical injection last week . I have the same type of buzzing down one of my legs after lumbar fusions.
