Pain on a rib

That's a strange one, I have never heard of that before, are you sure it is a twitching in your rib and not fluttering underneath ?

I get what seems to be a fluttering, as though my heart may be racing but my heart isn't doing anything different it lasts for a few minutes and then disappears until the next time. 

Hope you find an answer

love light and peace

Thankyou for your reply....its just under my right breast sometimes its fluttering or just a pulse thing for a few seconds,im just wondering if its anythong to do with me having constipation and everything has got impacted,i suffer with anxiety which doesnt help matters☺

Hey Prue,

That's an interesting question, You might be on to something there , I too suffer from both constipation and bladder problems, having an abdominal Hysterectomy in 2012, and I have only noticed it since my surgery. I am going to keep an eye out now and see if I find any correlation with mine.

I suppose it could be the intestine twitching to try and push matter though? or the bloating that constipation causes like a balloon effect and maybe pushing things up towards the heart so makes the beating a little more noticeable, what you think ?. sounds feasible, or along that note do you get any reflux ?, I had GERDS and that was caused by a weak stomach muscle allowing reflux, if it was only gas coming up I suppose it is like a little internal tummy fart. (Sorry it is the only way to describe it). when it happens to me my pulse and BP are Normal.

If you worried forget the label anxious and get it checked never mess around, I went to the GP several times and got told I was just depressed as I was really tired all the time and had no motivation, they medicated me and I went back and said I know that the medication can make you paranoid, but I am sure that I have a lump, and I did if I had just put it down to anxiety and paranoia I would have never found it.  

Hope as crazy as this sounds it is of some help.x

Hi

Well fingers crossed now ive not had it for a few days but as i said theres no pain apert from the feeling of fulness from the ibs c,i just wish that everyone didn't have to put up anxiety and stress (i know some people feel a lot worse than others)  as it holds you back from things in everyday life,i have good days and bad days too.

Wishing you the best of health x

I totally agree, Here is hoping it resolves itself soon for you x

I've just read your comment I have been haveing serve pain on my right side near rib cage sometimes it worse than other times but had operation in December so been puting down to briuseing but it can be very uncomfortable has any one else had this problem thanks for reading 

Lynnmarie, just a thought, there is a condition of the Ribs called " Costochrondritis " its inflammation of the cartilage that is in between the ribs And breast bone (sternum).  I had this a few years ago and is very painful.
