Twitching in diaphragm/solar plexus
Posted , 4 users are following.
I'm trying to determine if what I'm feeling is a nervous muscle twitch (i.e., benign fasciculation) or something cardiac like a PVC. This has happened after high stress episodes three times over several years. It feels like a momentary twitch or spasm coming from my diaphragm/solar plexus area. In the past, this has gone away 1-2 weeks after the high stress event. It's been going on for a few days now. An EKG I had for a routine physical a month ago was completely normal. There's no pain/pressure/lightheadedness or anything associate with other cardiac disorders and I can exercise (i.e., run 5k) normally. The twitch feels to me like it originates in the center or right side, away from the heart. I've never experienced anything I would term a "fluttering". The incidence is definitely tied to anxiety (i.e., being worried about the feeling) and if I've eaten recently (I think food passing through the esophagus might irritate some nerves - I'm not sure). Based off of reading descriptions of both anxiety-based muscle twitches and PVCs it's hard to tell what other people are feeling, so I can't directly correlate this symptom with other individuals' descriptions. I was hoping someone here could help me out.

I don't know what that is or where it's located but if your GP cleared everything and said it's Anxiety don't worry it probably is. Since Anxiety can cause alot of symptoms all over our body that mimic real health conditions. Dont panic it could be you are hypersensitive to your Anxiety. Best of Luck to you.👍
