Does a visible pulsation at the epigastric region normal? i have medium built body. abdominal circumferrence of 29.5 in. help

Abdominal pulsation: it is not unusual for a young person to have a visible and/or palpable pulsation in the upper abdomen. In someone who is young and has this without any other symptoms, it is usually of no consequence. I would not worry about it unless other symptoms develop. Good luck.
