1. Asthma

The chest bubbles you may feel can be caused by the chronic disease known as asthma. With this, your airway passages narrow due to inflammation and excessive mucus production. Bubbling in chest is one of the milder symptoms of asthma as breathing becomes shallow and difficult during an asthma attack.

2. Chronic Bronchitis

Chronic bronchitis refers to inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes. These transport air to and from your lungs. As the air is restricted, a bubbling sensation may occur along with the trademark persistent cough with mucus. This form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD, is irreversible but treatable.

3. Gastritis

Bubbling and gurgling sensations and noises from the chest and abdomen regions may be the result of gastritis. This medical condition covers an array of abdominal ailments involving an inflamed stomach lining. Stress, infections, and thinning of the lining due to the aging process can cause gastritis disorders.

4. Acid Reflux

A bubble feeling in chest left side or gurgling in upper abdomen may indicate the damaging condition of gastroesophageal reflux disease, known as GERD, or acid reflux. The bubbling is often accompanied by a burning or heartburn sensation.

5. Dyspepsia

Dyspepsia covers symptoms of an upset stomach and indigestion. The bubbling in chest may be an indicator of an issue with the small intestine, stomach, chest, and esophagus. The discomfort is often felt after eating and may be accompanied by nausea, bloating, belching, or a feeling of fullness.

6. Chronic Cholecystitis

Gallbladder inflammation is the condition known as chronic cholecystitis. It can cause the bubbling sensation along with fever, vomiting, indigestion, and upper abdominal pain. The pain comes in waves and worsens with each breath as the irritated gallbladder comes in contact with the diaphragm.

7. Pleurisy

Our lungs are protected by a moist membrane called the pleura. When this becomes inflamed, a condition known as pleurisy can present a bubble sensation in the chest. This may be accompanied by breathing difficulty and severe chest pain that worsens with each breath. Pleurisy is often associated with pleural effusion.

A Quivering Heart – How Is This Sensation Explained?

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is commonly referred to an as irregular or quivering heartbeat. Usually, the first sign of AFib is a skipped heartbeat. However, this condition tends to worsen over time. Therefore, patients often experience a thudding or flipping feeling inside their chests.

The Five Most Common Causes of Quivering Heart

Coronary heart disease, also known as coronary artery disease, is considered to be the most common heart disease. According to a 2017 report, it affects around 16.5 million Americans over the age of 20.

Conclusion

Why does my heart feel like its quivering, you ask? The answer is simple – you are probably experiencing AFib. The question of what is causing this very same AFib may be more complicated to answer. There are different ways how to follow your heart condition. One of the easiest and effective solutions for that is an electrocardiogram ECG/EKG device.
