Hi I have been getting a weird fluttering/pulsating/vibrating sensation under my left rib - no pain - don't think it's linked to my heart as I have counted my pulse same time as having the odd sensation, any ideas on what this can be?

Question

What does it mean if I have a high blood sugar and feel normal?
