What Causes Pulsations Between Belly Button And Rib Cage?

there is a pulsating (feels like a baby kicking... have had three babies) between my belly button and my rib cage... totally not where a baby should be... i've been having a period every month and my husband had a vasectomy over a year ago. i took a pregnancy test this morning... negative. i have been working out for a good five months... but have taken a three week break now. am 5'7" and 135... and am in my early thirties. could it be my diaphragm simply freaking out from lack of exercise? you can see the pulsating and feel it! so weird!!

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Such pulsating feeling between belly button and rib cage in a female patient in early thirties and having three babies can be due to fluttering of the abdominal muscles.
This can be akin to muscular tics or fasciculation.
Or can indicate nerve over stimulation on its own or by nerve pinching syndrome.
I would advise you the following: get a clinical evaluation, examination by a Doctor and investigations as advised.
It may be due to anxiety or stress hence get over a control.
Also get serum electrolytes done and corrected if there is any deficiency.
I find this answer helpful
