Not sensitive.: Many people can feel their navel pulse; it is insufficient to say (or diagnose) an aortic aneurysm. Even doctors doing a physical exam (to measure the "width" of the pulse) can over- or underestimate the size of the aorta. AAA is common in families, smokers. The easiest screening test is an abdominal ultrasound. For someone of your size, it shouldn't be a problem. TTYD or use HealthTap Prime. GL.
