Dear Ma'm
Thanks for writing to us.
A feeling of pulsation in stomach may be because of enlargement of blood vessel (aorta). Since your cardiac ultrasound & CT abdomen is normal, a structural disease is not likely. Still check it out if they have looked for an aortic aneurysm.
If you have got your thyroid hormones checked?
I would recommend visiting an internist to look for a systemic cause like thyroid disorder or pheochromocyoma.
