Aorta: In thin, young persons, it is common to be able to feel the aorta pulsations. Rare to have an aneurysm or vascular issue. Menstruation is quite variable, but if persistent, see pcp or gyn.

See answer: In thin persons, the feeling in your stomach is your heart beat. You are feeling it through your stomach, coming from the abdominal aorta which is normally palpable as stated in thin people. You seem to be menstruating too long, which may cause anemia, leading to tiredness, fatigue, and even more serious issues. You should see a gyn dr, to get eval and some labs. Good luck.
