A member asked:

Is it normal for a skinny person to visibly see a pulsation in the stomach with each heart beat or is this abdominal aortic aneurysm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prob normal: if very thin, one can see pulsations in abdomen, but if it makes you feel more comfortable, see your doc to confirm this
