Is it possible for you to feel your own heartbeat if you press hard against your stomach?

Aortic pulsation: This is just your aortic pulsation that you feel. It is more obvious, the thinner you are.

Especially if: you are relatively thin, you may feel the pulsation of the abdominal aorta if you press down on your stomach.
