Hi I have an annoying fluttering/twitching feeling in my upper right abdomen area right under the rib. It feels as if i am 6 months pregnant (which i am not 6 tests different times of day all negative) Anyidea what on earth this could be? I have no health insurance and very worried. Thank you.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Possibility of stress and anxiety related symptoms is more in your case. But better to rule out heart related diseases like arrhythmia first. Arrhythmia is disturbance in the rhythm of heart. And when this present, it gives fluttering, vibratory feeling in the lower chest or upper abdomen. And if arrhythmia is present then prompt treatment is needed because it is life-threatening condition. So better to get done ECG, 2d echo and Holder monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ECG). If all these are normal then no need to worry about arrhythmia or other heart diseases. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
