What Causes Kicking Sensation In Upper Stomach Between Ribs?

I am experiencing a kicking sensation that feels similar to when I was pregnant and the baby would kick except I am not pregnant and this is in the upper stomach area between my ribs or below where I think my heart is. Wondering if it could be my heart or not? I have been under stress but have never had this sensation in this area before

Hi,

This can be heart palpitations due to stress. Please refer to a cardiologist to do EKG and physical examination.

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

Take care
