A member asked:
How do you tell a normal stomach pulse from an aneurysm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get checked.: it is not unusual for someone in their 20s to be able to palpate a pulse in the abdomen, particularly if they are thin. It would be extremely rare for someone in their 20s to have abdominal aortic aneurysm. If after an examination your doctor feels it is necessary to check, an abdominal ultrasound can differentiate the two. Good luck.
