What Causes Spasms Under The Rib Cage?

I have a painless spasming (not constant, but maybe 1/3 of the past 24 hours) of what I m pretty sure is my lower esophageal sphincter--it can be felt easily by placing hand/finger just under my ribcage. Is this any cause for concern? My inclination is to ignore it until I see my GP in about a week.

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease.

I suggest using a spasmolytic such as Buscopan.

I also suggest using Maalox to lower the acidity in the stomach.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
