Question 1

What would cause pulsing feeling below left rib cage and slight pain at bottom of rib cage?

Accepted Answer

Under the left rib cage is tye spleen, if it is tender and pulsating you need to see your doctor.

Question 2

The left side of my abdomen keeps pulsing, seems like it's under my ribs.. i'm not really sure what the problem is and if i should have concern. ?

Accepted Answer

Pulsation in the abdomen is usually from the abdominal aorta which is the largest artery in the body. It is often more noticeable in slender individuals. Aneurysms would be the main concern with very prominent arterial pulsation. See your physician if you have continuing concerns.

Question 3

Visible twitching below left ribs not painful. i have gerd and had badrflux last night. pulse in neck feels normal and doesn't follow twitch. worry?

Accepted Answer

This is likely a muscle fasciculation. There are many causes. When localized to one area, it could be due to a damaged nerve or overused muscle. I suggest you have a pm&r doc or neurologist check it out.

Question 4

When i walk up long stairs i often feel my pulse in the area under my ribs/sternum. in the middle and a little to the left. never happen in sports/gym?

Accepted Answer

When you walk up stairs you valsalva more. This increases tone and volume in your Inferior Vena Cava. The aorta and IVC close together and this may transmit the pulse.

Question 5

Weird tightness/pulsing below right rib cage, developed into stabbing pain that sometimes radiates to left arm, back, and/or neck. feeling of something there where pulsing/pain occurs.

Accepted Answer

Pulsating symptoms are seen with artery movements and an aneurysm. Gall bladder dysfunction is a cause of right upper abdominal discomfort radiating around to the back. Your symptoms are atypical and I recommend an evaluation by a physician who will take a thorough history, perform a physical examination and order any appropriate tests in order to pinpoint the cause of your symptoms.

Question 6

Week ago started having random light stinging pain in upper left ribs/lat. after i eat, or random. 5d ago started a pop/bubbling feel around left nipple/ribs. sometimes in sync with pulse or induced by inhaling. only when laying back or on left side.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like inflammation of the muscles or ribs, perhaps from a new or change in activity or recent cough. Try ibuprofen for a few days. If it persists, if you feel tired, dizzy or short of breath. Get urgent evaluation.

Question 7

I feeling something unusual jus below my left chest  which come and goes and mostly its off and i also have bounding pulse all over the body?

Accepted Answer

It sounds as though you might be experiencing palpitations.  It's very common in young adults.  It might be due to skipped or extra heart beats, or it might not be related to your heart at all.  Sometimes palpitations can be exacerbated by anxiety, caffeine, or thyroid problems.  You might want to check with a physician, especially if you have chest pain, breathing trouble, or fainting.

Question 8

I have a pain on left side chest goin into back and abdomen fast pulse nausia dizzyness?

Accepted Answer

The symptoms you describe could represent a heart attack.  There are other possibilities, such as pancreatitis, diverticulitis, pneumonia, pulmonary embolus (blood clot to the lung), etc.  In any event, you should be seen emergently in an emergency department.

Question 9

Aside from apical pulse. i can feel other pulsation from my chest when lying on left side. pls help me!is this cardiomegaly?

Accepted Answer

Most people with cardiomegaly do not feel the enlarged heart, but have other symptoms like leg swelling and shortness of breath.  That being said, a doctor can tell by a physical exasm and conform with an x-ray or echocardiogram if your heart is enlarged

Question 10

Why do u feel a much stronger pulse in the left side of your chest? which artery are there? it is not the heart area im taking about...

Accepted Answer

Not sure what answer you are looking for here.  The heart is located in the Left chest area, so any artery in that area will have a larger sounding pulse with slightly more intensity simply because of the proximity to the beating heart.  Best wishes.
