Normal physiology: The pulse you see and feel is your descending aorta. Depending on your body type/habitus it may be more prominent in some people than others. If you are very thin it's more noticeable. As a side note, there are people that have cardiovascular disease who may also notice this "pulsating" aorta which is an ominous signs of a possible (AAA) aortic artery aneurysm. See your PMD if u need more info.
