Stomach pulse: The stomach pulsation can be caused by hypertension. Do you have high blood pressure? Caffeine can increase heart rate that may also causing the symptoms.

Your aorta: Every trim person has a pulse there. Many of us not discover it as adults. Mention it to your physician on your next visit.
