abdominal fluttering

[Reg105]

Hi,

I've been reading the forum of others that are going through abdominal fluttering and it's freaking me out.  I have Fibromyalgia and Myofacial pain syndrome and I don't think the abdominal fluttering has anything to do with either condition.  I do have a child and the fluttering feels just like the fetus moving around and I KNOW I'm not pregnant.  It's to the point of me being able to watch my abdomen move and expecting a fart to come out and I get nothing.  This fluttering or whatever it is has been going on for a month or so and figuring it was just gas I blew it off.  I would call my doctor and question them, but how stupid would I feel if it's a gas problem.  If anyone can point me any direction it would be helpful.  No, the fluttering is not painful.  It's just wrong to see or feel and not know what the heck it is.

Hi,

How are you?
There are a few possibilities here. Firstly the abdominal fluttering could be due to irritation of peripheral nerves. An EMG test will be helpful in diagnosing it.
The other possibility is that these sensations are mild seizures.
I would suggest you to consult an experienced neurologist about it. Take care!

Did you ever figure out what your abdominal fluttering was caused by? It just started with me and it is very irritating. I have never experienced anything like this except when I was pregnant and I know I am not.

I also have been having this off and on for two years now. I just found out I have endometriosis. I also have fibromyalgia, but this is a feeling of being pregnant and is usually in the same spot every time (above hairline). I can see it as can other people. Its not painful and when I am in a lot of pain from other problems it isn't worse. It comes and goes! HELP!

I am experiencing fluttering in my upper abdominal area.  It occurs when I am lying down on my left side.  I have a sliding hiatal hernia and mitral valve prolapse in addition to a mild case of scoliosis.  The fluttering is not painful.  Could it be the lower esophageal valve, if there is such a thing, that flutters due to the hernia?
