Morning everyone, sorry to anon on this just feel a bit silly, anyway, I’ve seen a lot of post’s on here recently about others having problems with breathing one way or another, I myself get this, feels like I can’t get a deep breath, sometimes along with this I get this butterfly feeling, anyone else get this, and what have you been told about it, thanks, ANON x
Hi Anon x
Please don’t feel silly!
There was a post recently on fascicuations. One of my most distressing symptoms has been the hug. I’ve had 2 really bad episodes where in one I even ended up in A&E thinking I was having a heart attack. It comes around my chest and also into my stomach - constant spasming coming in waves.
Since these two nasties I’ve been left with his really uncomfortable band like feeling around my back, chest and middle.
This can make me feel like I can’t take a deep breath or ‘catch my breath’ (It also comes with this overwhelming ‘weakness’ feeling that makes you want to take deep breaths)
Anyway - about the butterflies - I’ve been having major fasciculations in my muscles for the last few months - they are mainly in my leg muscles and sometimes accross my abdomen. They are like butterfies or worms wriggling around under the skin - they feel like the sensations you get when pregnant and the baby moves around!
Since having them in more obvious places I’ve realised that what I thought were palpitations are actually small fasciculations going on in my upper abdomen & chest area!!!
It’s a very strange sensation - once you have had it in other muscles - I can watch my thigh muscle ripplng with it - you just can’t mistake the feeling!!
Does this ring a bell with you??? xxjenxxx

Hiya Anon
Like your other reply-dont feel silly.
I too get this and it does feel like pregnancy fluttering-panic as 4 kids are enough!
But now I recognise it and also get similar in my face/head.
I dont take anything for it as its random and not painful.
Take care, Ellie x
thank you for you’re replies, yes I understand exactly what you’re saying, it’s just good to know I’m not on my own, Anon X
I am having these exact symptoms as of late. They are scaring me. I talk to my doctor about it on Monday. Im hoping something can be done about it. I thought they were palpitations myself but they are not. And they are disturbing my sleep. Does amyone have any advice on what I can do to stop these or lessen them?
