What Causes Abdominal Twitching?

For a day and a half now I ve had this strange pulsing feeling in my upper abdomen or right below my left rib cage. It almost feels like a baby kick and there is no way I am pregnant. Anyways sometimes it s not so bad feels like a small kick but other times it s a lot harder. As in I can see it when it happens. It s not a regular pulsation either. It s very irregular. It s nothing like my heart beat. However here recently now my heart rate has gotten faster as well now. What is going on?

Hello,

I think there is an issue with your gastrointestinal tract. Parasites are possible.
You may need to do a parasite stool sample.
Treatment consists of antiparasitic therapy.

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