Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Upper right sided: Upper right abdominal pain could indicate gallstones. If the pain continues and is worse after eating then ask your doctor to evaluate you for this. If this pain was a one time thing that resolved on its own then it may have just been a gas pocket or some intestinal movement.

I am healthy, 35, exercise regularly and eat a fairly balanced diet. I keep experiencing intermittent pulsation of my upper abdomen (epigastric area) over the last 4 days, no pain and not pregnant. Should this be a cause of worry?
