I feel like i have a water balloon in my epigastric region. you can see it pulse/swell clearly and if i lay on my stomach it feels like it will pop.

Epigastric mass: You don't provide enough information and detail for me to help answer the question. But, given that it is pulsatile, you should be seen by a doctor soon or in the emergency room if it is painful. A quick ultrasound exam will delineate if it is a vascular mass. It is common for skinny individuals to visualize pulsations in a scaphoid abdomen when laying flat. Best to be evaluated in person.
