What Causes Tingling Sensation Just Below The Rib Cage?
I am having a strange tingling/buzzing sensation just below my rib cage on the left side. It is more prominent when I am sitting straight up or lying down. I have pretty bad GERD and a hiatal hernia. There is no associated pain and is not palpable when it occurs. I am just curious if it could possibly be my hiatal hernia that could have increased in size causing this?
hi, your problem of tingling / buzzing sensation just below the (L) rib cage . In my opinion ,could be due to the movements of food in your stomachand hiatus hernia. You are thinking in right direction about Hiatus Hernia and GERD being the cause , esp since it occurs in specific positions.
