A member asked:

Is it normal to feel a pulse in your abdomen. i'm only 105lbs at 5'3". i have felt it before but i felt it again last night and started to worry.

Yes, sometimes: You can feel your aorta pulses especially if you are thin. Have your blood pressure checked just to make sure. You can also have an aneurysm, but it is rare at your age. Show it to a doctor just to make sure.
