What Causes Strong Pulse In Abdomen?

Hi When I put my hand over my belly button or above and slightly below it I can feel a pulse. I m pretty sure it matches my heart beat but the pulse in my stomach is a lot stronger. Should I be worried or is this a normal place for you to be able to feel a pulse? Thanks in advance!

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks for using HCM, I understand your concern and will try to give you my medical advice, It's completely normal when you are lying on your back that you can feel some beats in your belly even sometimes you can see your abdominal wall up and down, but if you have the sensation that the pulse in your stomach is stronger I advise you go to the doctor because could be a circulatory malformation ( Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms) and just a physical exam can help with the diagnostic. I hope has been helpful, take care
