Stomach butterflies..but in my chest?

So sometimes when I get anxious or just even when I'm not anxious really... I get the butterfly feeling in my chest.  No pain nothing like that.  My heart doesn't have palpatations either. It's weird. Any insight?

the butterfly feeling is your own sign of anxiety..you don't need the other signs to know that you are worried about something.
