A member asked:

Last night my stomach right under my right rib started twitching and it is still twitching . is this something serious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

unlikely: We all get minor muscle fasiculations sometimes. If it persists for > a week, check with your doctor but most likely it will resolve with no treatment (and return from time to time as well).
