A member asked:
When i lay down i can see my stomach pulsating, is this room for concern?

No it's your aorta: The abdominal aorta is the largest artery in the body and pulsates with each heartbeat. It is perfectly normal in most people, especially slender people to see pulsations of the abdominal wall. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
