A member asked:
When sitting or lying down i feel my heartbeat in my stomach. doctor said its normal, can this be because of being fit and having a flat stomach?

Normal: This is perfectly normal. If it becomes annoying this could be caused by anxiety. Being fit and having a flat stomach are great things and not the cause of this

Possible: If you are really thin it is conceivable that you might feel aortic pulsations. If you have anxiety issues that might "amplify" them.
