What causes a quiver or flutter in your chest lasting up to 1 minute after a sneeze cough or deep yawn?

In: Yawning [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

Hello.

This could be because you have Asthma. I get this myself and its perfectly harmless. Or you may be experiencing a slight palpitation which is also normal.

Answer

I'm not sure if a palpitation is all that normal. If a fluttering is in the chest after a sneeze, my bet would be on a twitching or an intermittent spasm of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is a muscle that sits at the base of the lungs and is responsible for allowing you to take air in and out. During a sneeze, the diaphragm has a violent and intense contraction. After the sneeze, it is quite possible to experience this muscle twitching. Any muscle that contracts in such a way can still have residual aberrant contractions.
