What Causes Strong Pulsation In My Abdomen?

I'm a 30 yr old woman, I do not have a history of medical problems, the last few weeks when I lay on my stomach I have been feeling a strong pulsation, much stronger than in my chest. When I lay on my back I feel an area with a very strong pulse on my abdomen, near my umbilicus. I know the major artery, the aorta runs in the abdomen... So is a strong pulse a concern. Or just normal aortic flow?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Very good question...
If you are feeling this for the first time ,, the surgical problems concerned with this feeling like a cyst or a mass lying on the aorta have to ruled out by an urgent ultrasonography and color doppler examination ,; the the findings are positive confirm this by a contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen ans of necessary of the chest too...

If the investigations and clinical examination by your Doctor are normal , enjoy life- it is possible that you have lost a lots of weight and lost abdominal fat... ( this is on a lighter vain)
