Pulse in stomach?

Pulse in stomach?

Hello,

I'm from Holland and im 20 years old, but the last few months there's somthing strange going on with me (atleast i think there is) .. Since a few months i can see my stomach moving on every heartbeat .. And it scared me .. So i was searching on the internet .. And i found out that the aorta is there, and that some people can see it pulse .. But it also said only thin people can .. And im not thin .. My weight is 100 KG and i'm 1,87 meters (sorry and i dont know what kg and length is in english) .. So my question is .. Is it still possible that i can see my stomach moving on every heartbeat? .. The docter watched it with a scan .. And he said my Aorta is fine .. But im still scared .. Could it be something else? Or is it just normal?

Oh bye the way, the docter told me that it could be possible i get it coz i had some panic attacks last months.

Sorry for my bad English, but i'm a bit scared. So can anyone help?

Thanks!

This finding is very normal.  Also, the fact that your CT was normal is extremely reassuring.  Don't be alarmed at all.

im 26 and somewhat overweight as well and when i lay down i can see the pulse in my stomach too, its completely normal, it can be exacerbated by your anxiety (seeing it more clear in your stomach.

Well the other thing that can cause this...is an aneurysm...but you had a scan to rule this out...also with anxiety your heart may beat harder so you would be able to see it more.
