A member asked:

I can see my whole stomach pulsating sometimes.being hypochondriac i had ultrasound which is normal.what it could be?should i worry?or is it normal?

Poss just your aorta: With thinner individuals, particularly if lying on your back and with quiet breathing, it is not uncommon to see the your abdominal aorta pulsing under your stomach wall. Review your u/s with your PCP to review all the finding and check that a normal aorta was visualized which should be part of a standard abd u/s scan.

Hello! I have a slight concern about my lower chest area. I dropped a lot of weight (6'' and 145lbs) due to gastric issues and when I suck in my stomach I can see the xiphoid process sticking out and pulsating. Is it normal? Or should I be worried?
