Does anyone else feel this?

From time to time I get a sensation of tightening behind my sternum, just where my valves are situated. It isn't uncomfortable, it is more like a little twitch. It only lasts a second, like a small painless contraction. This is not a daily occurance, it could happen several times then none for a while, days or even weeks.

Is it just me or does anyone else get something similar?

I do. They are like a twitch, or a pinch. They happened mostly before surgery, but I am beginning to notice them now, again. It occurs, and only one twitch .... then before you have a chance to register on it or try to figure it out, it's gone. I don't like them..felt like something constricting. But since it doesn't really hurt, last long, or happen much or with any reason.....I've been tryiing not to think about it!

Anyone else?

That sounds like it. It would mostly be when I am in bed but not always. You wait for it to happen again and it might not, so not quite like a nervous twitch which would repeat over and over.

If I remember I will mention it to the cardiologist next time I see him, but I expect that I will forget.
