Hi, I don't really come on here too much but I'm a bit worried at the moment because for the last couple of hours I've been experiencing a fluttering, twitching sensation in my lower stomach - underneath my belly button. It feels a bit like a heartbeat but it isn't regualr enough to be mine. It doesn't hurt at all but it does feel a bit weird. Any advice would be much appreciated before I send myself off into a total panic.
Thanks!

Hey, I get that too. Its like palpatations but in my stomach, a bit like a pulse only more intense. Sorry I cant explain it to you but I'd like to find out too

Can i ask if anyone has actually found out what this fluttering is, as i have had it a couple of times now and having health anxiety i stupidly googled it and every result came back to a pregnancy website. And although my periods are irregular i am near enough positive that i cannot be pregnant, so does anyone know of any other reason for this feeling which is sometimes a fluttering/ pop corn popping inside you feeling

I have had this for years
I agree it does feel like the flutterings when pregnant but in fact it is wind/gas,bowel/muscle spasms , unnerving but normal

Hey I get these too, sometimes just below my ribs and sometimes in the stomach. I don't know what they are but sometimes I get them after I have eaten food.

I've had these for years, it's just muscle spasms. Try not to think about it too much. If I lie down and look at my stomach I can even see the muscles spasming. I put it down to anx but whatever the cause it's nothing to worry about it will go away, probably when you stop thinking of it.

Take care

It's nothing dangerous. I get it basically all over my body. Recently I had it on the left side of my abdomin. Right now my eye is fluttering. It's normal.

I get this & suffer from IBS. It's usually just cramp or gas.

Well at last I have found other women with the same flutterings! I too have had this sensation of "someone" living in the pit of my stomach and after some investigation was diagnosed as having Magnesium deficiency and within 7/10 days of taking a good dosage it went away for a long time. The other systems which I did not associate with the spasms was a tightening of the throat; a low threshhold to noise; tiredness; low blood pressure. I also developed shingles, which I still have after nine months!!!
Any help with the shingles would be appreciated though.
