What Does Pulsating Sensation Around The Navel Indicate?
Hi there, I often get a significant pulsing near my stomach? I can feel it at its most prominent when I press near my navel and it s really worrying me? It s not related to anxiety or exercise as I can get it when laying down watching tv/ doing nothing. If I lay back I can visibly see my clothing on my torso jumping! I just had a hot bath and felt breathless with the pulsing happening again :( Advice please? Many Thanks

Hello there! I read your question and want to inform you what you are seeing is an epigastric pulsation which is completely normal and visible specially in thin individuals on lying down. I don't think there is anything to be worried about unless you have any other health issues. I hope that answers your question. If there is anything else you want to ask please feel free to write
