A member asked:

Ive been feeling this pulse in the left side of my abdomen for a little while now, i cant really feel it when im standing up only when im sitting or laying down. it doesnt cause me any pain but its starting to freak me out. any suggestions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Aorta: The abdominal portion of the aorta is very large artery, and often its pulsations are often palpable by healthy slender people. If the pulsation feels very strong, A physician would check for an aneurysm and also check to make sure your blood pressure is not elevated. An ultrasound study can be done if your MD feels is advisable to determine the status of the aorta. My guess is you're OK.
