pulsating in stomach of unknown origin

My wife (41 years old, polycystic kidney disease but renal function still very good) had an abdominal CT scan today to rule out aortic rupture. test was negative and ER personnel sent us home with no answers. She is experiencing pulsation on middle to left side, pain, nausea, tingling in feet.
  you can see her stomach pulsate up and down and can feel it beat rapidly, like a second heart.
If it's not arterial, then what is it? a hernia? thinning of stomach wall to point where we can see her arteries pulsate? Enlarged kidneys sending organs into whack?
Anybody?
