Could Slight Pulse Below Sternum Be Due To Being Underweight?
Hello, I'm 23 years old and I can feel a slight pulse below my sternum. I was a ballet dancer so I'm very thin. My wight is 100lb and my height 5'6". I was wondering if this was a normal finding because I'm so thin. I've not gain or lost weight. I've always been around 100lbs.

Hi. I can understand your concern.
It is common in a thin individual to feel pulses. If you donot have any other symptoms you could wait and watch.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
