Depends: For your height you are underweight. If your weight been like this foe several years, i would not be concerned. It is your abdominal aorta which is pulsating, which is normal. It will be beneficial to get a sonogram of that area to see the size of your aorta.If you are losing weight, I am definitely concerned.
