weird sensation under my left rib cage

[jojo69]

hi i was wondering if anyone could help i suffer from health anxiety and ive been to the docs with what i can only describe as something trapped under my left rib. if ur a woman reading this post its like when your pregnant and the babys foot or arm is pushing up under the ribcage, the doc says it was a pulled muscle but its been like that a while now i was just wondering if it was a symptom of anxiety. i will look forward to a reply x

Doc is right, it's probably a pulled muscle. If you're tense,that will make it worse and harder for it to heal.

I'm having the exact same thing!!!!

Feels like a baby's foot or a big bubble of air that never moves its awful. I went to the dr and she thinks mines is constipation. Mines is defo not a pulled muscle.

Your bowel runs up and under your left rib so any gas there can feel like something big stuck under rib or a pulled muscle as mentioned. I have had both and when it was my bowel I would get a feeling like bubbles popping under the rib as well its was the air in bowel popping! I had it for days at a time.

Hey, I made a post about this recently under "Left Abdomen Pain". Still have it, both to the left of my naval and under my left rib cage, towards the middle of the chest where the rib cage curves. I think its all muscular from being so tense over the last week or so, though I have had abdomen pains on and off for months. Sometimes it feels like its radiating from my back too, which of course is in bits like most people with anxiety. Its a horrible feeling, I wish my body could get a break from it so it may have a chance of getting back to normal
