strong pulse in abdomen, left side, feel slight bulge

Did you find out what it is? I have similar symptoms..

It is probably appendicitis. You should go to the doctor

The pulsating you're talking about may be the result of a muscle twitching. Based on the location it can either be the colon, the lower parts of the stomach/dudenum, or the gallbladder. Judging by your stools, however, I'm willing to bet it's your colon. Often times, when a muscle twitches it's because it's been working harder than it's used to working. In your case this may be for a number of reasons. 1) If it's your colon, you simply may not be getting enough fiber in your diet. If you don't have enough fiber, then your colon is doing a lot of work without getting enough proper nutrients. Try upping your fiber to 40g per day (particularly from fruits and vegetables) and see what happens after 2 weeks. (Note that pectin, a fiber found in apples, is especially good for the colon, so have at it.) Remember: your stools should have a toothpaste like consistency.   2) If it's your gallbladder, you may be feeling the first signs of biliary dyskinesia. In this case, try lowering the amount of fat you eat, and try following a gallbladder friendly diet. Olive oil is especially good for times like these. 3) If it's your stomach, then it might be a number of things. For example, if you're fighting an infection, your stomach will do some weird things, mostly because it's producing a bunch of extra acid. Also, if you've had some sort of viral illness it may have attacked some of the nerves that control your gi system, and the muscles may have become weaker because of it. (Weak muscles tend to be the reason for twitching, remember.) Finally, you may be dealing with the beginnings of something more serious, like a muscle dysfunction, which should be studied further. (This last scenario isn't likely, but it isn't out of the realm of possibility, which is why I mention it.) My recommendation: start with the higher fiber diet, while at the same time lowering your fat intake (eliminate all fast foods). Go with a gallbladder friendly diet, including extra virgin olive oil. You may want to see a doctor about this just to be on the safe side. You may also want to see an alternative health care specialist. (I always recommend a good acupuncturist with good herbal knowledge.) Most of this type of specialist will be able to tell you whether you have something off balance which you can correct and therefore head off any possible problems before they become serious.

The feeling of a heart beat or pulse in abdomen could also be a symptom of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA). You need to check it with your physician.

I have been feeling this way to, I have been getting an really strong pulse in the middle of my stomach, (exactly where my belly button is) I searched up a website called health tap, it is when you ask a question and they answered, and a lot of people had the same thing as I have! The doctors said if you are a thin person, it's totally normal to feel it if you are really skinny, if your not, you need to see a doctor, but I don't know really, I haven't told my mom to check me up by a doctor, but I'm really scared what they might say to me, help me please ;(

I am in the same boat idk what do and i cant afford a doctors visit

I am a 22 year old female and I have went from 89lbs to 108lbs in almost two weeks, my heart beat and stomach pulse has gained speed, when I lay on my back my lower left side hurts my bellybutton area on the lower left side down to my vaginal area I get quick sudden pains a few times daily, I used to wake up happy now I'm angry and nauseated, I never ate breakfast but coffee goes down so good only get one cup if I drink more I shake and puke. I went up in jean size I took a preg text before my misted period, which was supposed to be here a week ago today, I only have pain if i exercise like walk exc, more then usual house day, or if I lay around all day, or have sex the night before.
