A member asked:

Hi my friend said she burped then felt something move on top of her head.. saying it didn't hurt, but felt odd to feel that ..:/ what was going on ? is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Head: This mild head symptom was probably an irritable scalp muscle and since it hasn't persisted was insignificant.There doesn't appear to be any need to investigate this symptom at this time.
