What Causes Pulsating In Abdomen Around Navel?
Hi. I am 19 years old and can feel my pulse in my abdomen around my navel. It s worse when I lay on my back, but it isn t always there. The pulsating comes and goes. Sometimes I can lie on my back without feeling it at all. I was just curious what this could be.
