    Yes. If you are thin you can definitely feel it. I noticed this about 6 months ago lol. It is the pulse from the aortic valve that runs into the abdomen.

    If you have any pain or discomfort in that area, I'd get it checked out just to be on the safe side ( people can get blockages in that area).

    Thanks all! Obviously normal for some people! I don't have any pain, but it's weird.... I don't like it. It's very noticeable when I'm lying in bed on my back.

    Hey, atleast is doing it's job, providing your digestive track and lower half of your bodynwith blood.

    But completely normal, I've had instances feeling it throughout my entire life.

    Yes! It's so prominent that I can't rest a book or even my arms holding a book there to read. It jostles my book/my arms up and down a lot. I'm told it's normal.
