What Causes Pulsating Sensation Under The Left Rib Cage?

I have had this going on for a couple of days. I have a pulsating going on under my ribs on left side. It is between rib and back. Doesn t hurt. Just pulsates on occasion. I m a little worried. I took 2 baby aspirin and it went away for a while. It usually happens in morning and then again a few minutes ago. Last about 2 minutes max.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Very likely you are fine as this does not sound like a worrisome symptom.
On the other hand, it may be advisable to have your pulse checked with your doctor or even have an ECG done to make sure that your heart rate is regular and normal.

I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General and Family Physician
