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!
