Feeling pulse during exercise.

[pgw84]

I noticed about a year ago when I got my heart rate elevated I could feel it pulsing in the lower left of my abdomen/top of leg. I've noticed it everytime I do some exercise that gets my heart pumping, I've never really thought about it much apart from when it was happening, but it seems to be getting more pronounced. I did some hard walking the other day and some exercise earlier and whilst I was doing it and for time it took to slow down I could feel my heart racing away in my lower stomach and leg. Is this normal? I'm already thinking aortic aneurysm and am getting scared to exercise.

Is it normal to feel the heart beating in the body without checking your pulse?

Hi PG
I have been able to feel my pulse in my fingers ,toes and tongue constantly for the last 30 or 40 yrs even without exercise and have no ill effects.
My GP says some people are just more sensitive to their pulse than others.
