I just experienced something similar last night. Every now and then I get a sharp pains in my lower abdomen and I have for years, but last night it ascended to just on the cusp of my ribs, from there it felt like my stomach tightening. Thankfully it only lasted 2-5mins but I can't say that I wasn't concerned. Needless to say I feel better now having read this. thx

Same here-Weird (painless) spasm or twitching in upper abdomen, beneath rib cage. Very surprising as it occurs at ANY time of the day. Can be powerful or very mild sometimes. Very healhty, works out, eat right, doesn't smoke or do drugs..drink a bit from time to time (who doesn't !!LOL).

How frustrating! It is not because of your weight! I have the same issue (spasm under/at edge of right side of ribs) and I am 5'2", 105 lbs (age 40). I also take potassium and magnesium supps, exercise, and eat a healthy diet (lots of fruit, veg, nuts, seeds, fish, lean meat, no cigarettes, no alcohol, no refined sugar or flour). Mystery. Mine has been happening for two months now, off and on. Worse when sitting or bending over while sitting.

It sounds exactly like me. It not only feels like a baby kicking, but LOOKS like a baby is kicking. I have not been to any other planets, so I do not think it is an alien. I thought it might be because I have not been working out and my muscles were dying. Maybe I will try Magnesium!

Sounds more like a back problem or an issue with a spinal chord pinch

This reply is so irresponsible and incorrect. This DOES happen in normal healthy people. Don't listen to this "sky is falling" person. Ugh.

I guess I'm the newest addition to this group as the twitching in my upper abdomen has been going off and on for days and noticeable enough for me to search on the internet. I went through the answers, and as I'm a 40-year-old man I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant. I work out regularly, have 11% body fat and to the best of my knowledge a good diet. This has happened before a year ago, followed by an excruciating pain in my gut that felt like it was about to explode (to the point I took pain meds) and went away the next day. No clue what's going on.
