A member asked:
I have a muscle twitch right where the heart is it lasts for only a few seconds with no other symptoms what could this be?

Don't worry: There are many muscles on and around the rib cage. This may be near the heart but it does not sound like heart pain. I would suggest applying heat and doing gentle stretching.
