Do I have a hernia?!


Question: When I recline at certain angles, I push on my abdomen right near my rib cage and feel something move against it. I can not see any bulge or feel any pain. Could I have a torn muscle or something else? It has lasted for about 2 months.

The key is that you are not feeling any pain. It is not a torn muscle.

Its hard to be accurate about what you have without further more accurate description of what you are experiencing.
Is the area red or swollen? Any history of trauma or injury to the site?

You might be feeling the diaphragm muscle move up and down as you breathe. In any case, I wouldnt worry about it unless it was hurting or causing discomfort.

if it was a hernia u would be in alot of pain.. alot alot of pain. it could just be a organ... or something, its not a torn muscle cos yet again u would be in pain.
its probably nothing. but if ur worried just see a doc.
