A member asked:
I am 17 years old. turning 18 soon. i keep feeling my heartbeat in my stomach. i'm not thin or overweight. my bmi is totally fine. ?

Probably normal.: it is not unusual for young people to be able to feel a pulse in their abdomen. It usually occurs in people who are thin, although people who are normal weight can occasionally feel it also. It would be a good idea to see your doctor and have your blood pressure checked, but it will probably turn out to be innocuous. Good luck.
