What Causes Pulsation In Upper Abdomen?
Question: I have been feeling throbbing or pulsating on the left side of my upper abdomen. No pain with it but its very odd.
Brief Answer:
Muscular twitches perhaps...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The odd throbbing/pulsation may be due to twitching muscles. Cause of muscle twitch is rapidly misfiring nerves; but generally misfiring happens due to benign and not serious conditions. Therefore do not be worried about it.
Let me know if you have other symptoms such as:
a) colicky pain
b) bowel and bladder disturbances
c) difficulties while passing urine / increased urination
d) the concern seems internal not the surface muscle twitch
Hope this helped.
Regards
