My stomach pulse and fluttering, worried about an aneurysm!?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably nothing : Very thin patients can often feel their aorta and become concerned that it represents an aneurysm. At 30 an aortic aneurysm would be really unlikely unless you had a connective tissue disorder like marfan's or ehlers-danlos syndromes.

Unlikely: If you are thin you may easily feel normal aortic pulse. If heavy, it may still be transmitted to abdominal wall. Ultrasound is a good non invasive screen.

A member asked:
Recently have noticed a pulse at supersternal notch. It is palpable and noticeable in some lighting. Physicians do not seem worried about it, but should I get an echocardiogram to rule everything out? Google says aneurysm, could it be something else?
