Hi I ve been experiencing a strange fluttery twitch in my upper abdomen. It s on the left side about 2 below my rib cage. The best way I can describe it is It feels like when ypu are pregnant and the baby has hiccups or a repeated kicking sensation, but I know I m not pregnant. It s been happening for about a week now and is getting worse/more frequent. It can actually be felt by someone else pressing on my stomach ib the area of the twitch. What could be causing this please.
Hi. Thanks for your query. This is a very strange history. The first probable diagnosis in your case can be Pseudocyesis, meaning there is no actual pregnancy by the person starts feeling many or all symptoms of pregnancy. There is a rare possibility of intestinal obstruction of whatever reason, actual muscle twitching of the abdominal musculature and so on. I would advise you to get your blood, urine tests, particularly the electrolytes. Also go for an X-ray of the abdomen in the standing position, ultrasonography, and most important is an opinion of a gynecologist.
