What does it mean when you lay in your back and can feel a heartbeat above your belly button?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably normal: If you are a thin or normal weight person, this is perfectly normal. If you are overweight, it may still be normal, but you should discuss with your doctor and have your blood pressure checked.
