Noticed Discomfort While Bending Upfront While Pressing The Rib Cage

this afternoon when bent over almost in a stretch to touch my toes, it felt like an organ or something was pushing out from underneath my rib cage about an inch to the right from the center. it didn't hurt but took about a minute or so for it to go away. this isn't the first time it's happened. any advice?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry much for this because possibility of muscular spasm or pull is more.
Any sudden movement can cause reflex muscle spasm.
And this can be felt as something is coming out.
So possibility of muscular cause is more in your case.
So avoid such type of sudden movements.
If similar thing appears again than get done ultrasound examination of abdomen to rule out abdominal hernia.
At present, no need to worry for this.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
