Something is moving in left lower rib cage area it feels like a bubble under my skin & it happens every 10 60 seconds help what is it? worms?im scared

Not likely a Worm: Skin parasites rarely move enough to be felt under the skin. But, if you have been exposed, it might be possible. More likely a muscle spasm if it moves on it's own. Or a hernia. If it moves when you touch it, then likely a lipoma [large fat cell].
