Muscle Twitching while swallowing

2018-03-25 07:03:46
Whenever I am swallowing or drinking I am facing a muscle twitching just below the rib cage sometimes can be seen on the skin of stomach. There is no pain, but an unusual sensation. I was having soft stool as well. I am taking meds.(Dompan SR) and (Qure Oz). Is this normal? Am scared.

It could be a normal phenomenon. After swallowing a wave like contraction is produced in you food pipe ( peristaltic wave). For some people this wave is prominently visible. If it doesn’t bother you, don’t worry about it.

It can be normal if you don't have any associated symptoms like vomiting, pain or difficulty in swallowing , loose motions or constipation.
Next Steps
just wait and watch for 2-3 days if not causing much discomfort.
