A member asked:
Is it normal to feel one's pulse in the abdomen just above the navel, or should i be examined for aortic aneurysm? i'm a 36yo female of normal weight.

It is not unusual: to feel your pulse where you describe but make an appointment with your health care provider to examine you and determine whether additional diagnostic imaging studies are necessary to reassure you.

Unusual: For people who are very thin, one may feel the pulse in the abdomen. Since you stated that your weight is normal, it is best to ask your doctor to check it out to be sure.
