I can feel my heartbeat in my stomach REALLY strongly sometimes?!


Question: I can feel my heartbeat in my stomach REALLY strongly sometimes.?
In April this year, i fainted and didn't come round for an hour, so my parents called out a doctor and he said to go to hospital.

They did and ECG and another heart test (i can't remember the name) and they said i had a murmur, but it was harmless.

When i lay down, i can feel my heartbeat really strongly in my stomach. It's a really weird sensation.
Could this be linked to my murmur.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
It's just your aorta - major artery. It runs from your heart all the way down through your body. I can see my abdomen pulsing when I'm in the bath sometimes. It's normal and nothing to worry about.Health Question & Answer

That's your Abdominal aorta, the largest artery in your abdominal cavity. Every now and then it's normal to feel it pulsating, especially when you are lying down on your back. The only thing to worry about is if you can feel a pulsating mass (or lump) with your hands, or if there is family history of Abdominal aortic aneurysm.Health Question & Answer

It may have something to do with the murmur. Stress can also cause palpation's (strong heart beats) see your doctor to be safe.Health Question & Answer
