sstephan Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hi I was wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this. i have many abdominal/GI issues and recently began to feel a pulsating sensation under my rib cage on the right side. It sort of feels like when I was pregnant and would feel the baby kick. I can actually see it sometimes. Had an ultrasound which only showed a small kidney stone. Could this sensation be related to dysautnomia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poohbear Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I get this too. If it's something new please make sure to mention it to your Dr. There are some serious things that can cause this type of sensation and you want to make sure they have been ruled out.Aside from that, obviously I'm no Dr., but I don't know that this symptom is from dysautonomia directly. Statistically speaking, it is MOST likely to be a muscle spasm (in this case either of the small bowel or the intestines based on where you describe it). But again, do have it checked out.Sometimes a warm, moist compress will relieve it if it's muscle spasms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan617 Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I have it and asked my GI doctor about it. He said if you have a bolus of food in your gut the aorta gets pushed up when you lie down and so you can feel it pulsing.That being said, if it's a new symptom, get it checked out! morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bttrflyamby1981 Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Hey I've had this too....I was thinking maybe it was because I have IBS.Very weird though and not a great feeling when you know there's no baby making the kicking sensations. Mine too could be seen and it made my friend flip out!! I'm glad I can keep my friends entertained! Amber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgan617 Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Just means you have food in your stomach.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
