Aorta: You are feeling the pulsation of the aorta which is the largest artery in the body and because you're young and slender, there probably is no pathology. An aneurysm is the usual concern in an adult, but if you have continued concerns consult your physician who will check for this and also make sure your blood pressure is not elevated.
