These butterflies are really scaring me. I don't think this is normal. I'm starting to feel a cramp like Charlie horse feeling on the left side of my stomach I'm getting it so much.

I don't really know what the feeling of butterflies is! Do you have it if NOT stressed out? Is it daily and if so how long does it last. If inside you body and lower areas perhaps ask for an ultrasound....non invasive and fast test.

Hey!! I get those too. In my chest and stomach. Like a dropping sensation. I also get cramps because instantly as I get anxiety I want to go urinate or defecate at the same time. Part of it.

Hope you feel better!! I always recommend checking with a Dr. Just in case.

Good luck!

Yes I get them in my chest and stomach too. I was told it's just anxiety. Thank You

Tanae, Butterflies are part of the fight or flight response in our solar plexus when under intense anxiety. However, there is also the nice kind of butterflies you feel when physically and emotionally attracted to someone you love. Love and fear, a fine line producing the butterfly effect.

Thank You. I'm so over the butterflies but I know it's just anxiety unfortunately.

Funny how butterflies can be so pleasing or scary depending of the context you're feeling them!
