What Does Fluttering Sensation Under The Rib Cage Indicate?

I currently have the flu (since last Thursday) and am 54 year old, 270 lbs, 5 10 tall. I in pretty good health other than being over weight. I do NOT have any diabetes or other weight issues. As of last night I started to feel something under my left rib cage (at the bottom of the ribs) almost like jello wiggling, or like flutters of a baby...no pain, but I can feel it with my hands when it happens. Is it my spleen? Or what is it? Should I be concerned or is it just one of those funny things the body does?

Hello,

I suggest that you can do ultrasound and x-ray of that part, it seems useful. If your physician has not given the diagnosis, then do CT scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
