A member asked:
I can feel my abdominal pulse just by laying my hand over it; when i push on it i hear a whooshing sound and i can feel the blood flow. normal?

It could be normal : However it could also be a sign of aortic aneurysm (widening of the aorta) & renal artery stenosis (narrowing) - these conditions are uncommon among young people unless they're chronic smokers and have a strong family history of cardiovascular or renal conditions. You may need imaging studies to confirm them. See your dr for any concerns. Take care!

I feel like this is a silly question. I was laying with my hand on my chest, felt my heart beating. Checked my pulse in my neck, and it did not sync up, almost like its delayed in my neck. Is the pulse different because of the blood flow traveling?
