A member asked:
Can i feel the abdominal aorta (or is it the esophagus running down that i feel) and should i be seeing/feeling a pulse? i am 185 pounds.

See your doctor : You cannot feel your esophagus. You can feel your aorta in your abdomen if you know what you're feeling for. If you think you are feeling you aorta in your abdomen, see your doctor. An aorta that can be felt can be a diseased aorta, although you are awfully young for a diseased aorta.

I have pain in my lower abdominal area. It hurts mainly when i'm active moving around, specifically when i bend down for something. It's a feeling almost like my belt is too tight. Running doesn't hurt?
