I can see and feel my pulse in my stomach. I've been able to see it for as long as I can remember. I see it if I'm laying down, like in the tub. If I put pressure on it with my fingers I can feel it running between my ribs to my navel. Is this normal? Of course I googled it.

I'm normal weight and 29, and female. I don't have high blood pressure. I just don't want to rush to my gp if this is common.

Right now I can feel it lying on my back in bed. I have an empty stomach. Other times I can feel it if I cross my arms over my stomach while standing. When I do that I can feel it inside, not externally.

I hope this all makes sense :(

I've had it for years. The slimmer I get, the more apparent it is. I kind of like it now because it reminds me that I'm alive.:yesyes:

Can you feel it with your fingers when you press on it? It feels rather strong, like my pulse in my neck. But I do have to press down to feel that.

I have it to and I'm not even slim really. About average size. I asked ER Doctor about it he said normal being your biggest artery runs down it.

Yeah and I've just had an abdo scan done and they will have seen it then and it's all completely normal.
