Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

You are most likely: feeling the normal transmitted expansion of your aorta with each heart beat. Transmitted pulse. If you are very concerned then you should see a health care provider so that you can be examined and reassured. If that doesn't relieve your anxiety then ask for an abdominal ultrasound to confirm that everything is normal.
