What Does Fluttering Sensation In The Upper Abdomen Indicate?
I constantly feel movement in my upper abdomen almost like the flutters I got while pregnant. Sometimes I can actually see movement. My husband joked it was an alien but my mom suggested possibly having parasites? Is this even possible if I have never been out of the country?

Hello,
See, parasites can also be possible. There are so many parasites which can grow in the body and as long as a big rope.
So, get Albendazole or Metronidazole antibiotic tablets full course and you will get relieved from the symptoms.
If you want you can get your blood checkup done to know if you have any anemia or not due to the parasitic infection. Also, get your ultrasound abdomen done to rule out any other condition of the abdomen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
