Brief Answer:
Muscle twitch/Aortic pulsation

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

The area you are pointing is where the stomach is situated. None of the diseases associated with stomach cause that symptom.

It is either a muscle twitch or aortic pulsation ( major blood vessel) you are feeling.
If it is only occasional, you can ignore it.
If it is persistent , get medical attention.

Regards,
Dr.R.K

Brief Answer:
Yes, you can consult a GP

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
That is where the pyloric antrum of the stomach is located.

The other related structures/organs include left lobe of liver, pancreas, duodenum, transverse colon and aorta/IVC.

Yes you can consult a GP first.
No it is not life threatening.

Brief Answer:
Aortic pulsation

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Yes, I told you the same.
I told that one of the possibilities is aortic pulsation.

Since you have been examined by a doctor in person and he has also told the same there is no need to worry.

Dr.R.K
