I can't tell or not if it my appendix cause it doesn't hurt or anything but it keeps swelling up then it goes away in seconds. what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spasm: If something comes and goes in seconds it is probably a) a muscle spasm in the abdominal wall (i assume you are concerned about the appendix area) or b) spasm in the small intestine (internal in the abdomen) with a pocket of gas.
