Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Pulse in body: Our pulse can be felt throughout the body, easier in some spots than other, e.g., the wrist or the neck. Feeling a pulse in your stomach is normal but for peace of mind and to rule out anything else you might sense see your doc. He/she will put your mind at ease.
