Visible twitching below left ribs not painful. i have gerd and had badrflux last night. pulse in neck feels normal and doesn't follow twitch. worry?

Muscle twitching: This is likely a muscle fasciculation. There are many causes. When localized to one area, it could be due to a damaged nerve or overused muscle. I suggest you have a pm&r doc or neurologist check it out.
