Heart spasm?

Hi :)  I have this thing that it's the second time that it's happening to me which has no pain involved.  Below the left side of the breast bone area (not underneath the breast bone, slightly lower) I have something that feels like a tick.  It feels like a muscle shaking spontanously for a few minutes. It's kind of the same sensation of a tick only I cannot see it since it's really underneath the skin. I believe it's the heart muscle or close enough to it.  I believe it may be a heaart spasm or similar to it.
Is this something I should be concerned about?  I do not have any health symptoms that may be associated to heart disease.  Thanks.

Hi Ken,

Someone told me it could be a muscle spasm as well. So far it hasn't come back, at least that I was aware of; only on two occasions this past week.  I'll ask my doctor about that as well.

Thanks Ken :)

Hi Erica,

No, I only was tested for standard heart disease with an EKG and Echocardiogram when I've previously had an annoying pain on my chest and everything checked out ok and that was a while ago.  I can ask my doctor regarding getting checked for Aortic Biscuspid Valve. I'm due for a checkup.

Thanks for letting me know about it. Every info helps :)

Hi.

Have you ever been checked for Aortic Bicuspid Valve? Sometimes it can feel like you have either a sharp stabbing pain or like your heart is fluttering
