I have a twitching on the right side near the diaphragm. What can it be?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• By your description, this appears like a pulsatile mass, because you can feel it with your fingers on the side.

• It may be in the diaphragm or the lower part of the lung or the liver if it is on right side. But the incidence of such a mass at your age is very rare.

• If you had sustained any trauma in the past, then there is a possibility of some diaphragm injury which can lead to such a complaint.

• It can be a diaphragm eventration, but again it is not so common in your age.

• So, to find the exact reason, you need to have some tests done.

1. Chest x-ray.
2. Ultrasound of chest and abdomen.
3. Fluoroscopy to know the function of diaphragm.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• Occasional trembling might not be a major issue. It might be muscle twitches, which is occasionally seen in normal individuals also.

• I suggest you get an ultrasound of the abdomen and chest so that it will clear all doubts.
