A member asked:

Have had gerd for 20 years. i take ppi daily. recently feel twitching in stomach. is this a cause for concern?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nonspecific: The twitching is nondiagnostic and may be due to irritable abdominal muscles or mild contractions of stomach or intestines. See your physician if symptoms persist or worsen.
