I have anxiety, and recently I had my first anxiety attack. I felt like I was going to be sick and dry heaved and in result, I started to have palpitation's. I talked to an EMT about this and he's the one that told me about the artery. It really depends on where it is exactly in your body. Some people notice it and some never do.
So in response to your question...it is not anything out of the ordinary to feel your heart beat in your stomach, it's just like being able to feel it in your wrist or in the artery in your neck.
Come to find out 5 years ago he had it fixed. The problem was an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysym. Ask your Dr. to give you a simple CAT Scan or Ultra Sound. This is a serious condition! They can fix the AAA now with Stents and your home the following day as long as you find them before to long and the AAA gets to big. Then you would need a much riskier operation. aDon't let this go. Your lucky, sometimes there are no symptoms at all! Get yourself checked. I can not stress that enough.
Anita,
Your more than likely fine but just ask your Dr. at your next physical. My Hubby is in great shape too and no other symptoms. His Dr. just heard it with a stethyscope and lucky for all of us she did. It is also more commen in men especially if they have high blood pressure or ever smoked. He has HBP but never smoked or drank. He is a ret. Police Officer and older than you. I'm sure your fine. But ask anyway.

Hey im 15 and recently i have noticed a beat in my stomach . im thin and play alot of sport.
When i lie on my back I can see a beat around my belly button. I find that when I lie on my belly it sometimes hurts and i get
short of breath . It also hurts if i suck in my belly. NONE of my friends have this.
Is it normal....?
It's perfectly normal to see your heartbeat in your stomach. You have very large veins there.
I had noticed a heartbeat in the naval area but recently when I am stressed it is more dominat. I had a point where is I ate I would get sick so I couldnt eat and keep anything down for 3 months. I went to the doctors every 2 weeks then all of a sudden I was fine again. I have been stressed put more lately with work. When I tend to get uspet the only time i can feel my heartbeat is in my stomach. I am 22 and have a 17 month daughter. When I was pregnant I developed a tachycardia. Can this be related to this? Is it more serious? Also I am having a hard time with keeping weight on as well as putting it on. I am currently 93lbs. I am 5'3.
stress has an almost unbelievable effect on the body and while you are stressed all the things you describe can be side effects that snowball over time. Your body actually produces poisonous chemicals while you are stressed that build up over time and can cause symptoms even worse then what you already have. Your health can be one of the most stressful things to deal with ESPECIALLY when you have kids to worry about as well. Working with your doctor on your health, even if there are no real answers, can be very reassuring thus reducing your stress so you actually improve. Many people can maintain themselves by doing daily meditation sessions (to help with stress) and/or yoga (to improve stamina, detox the body, and improve blood flow) and and if you dont have time, MAKE IT. You cant take care of the people you love if you dont first take care of yourself. Some people have mood and stress disorders that make it harder to lower stress with meditation and yoga alone. if that is what you are left with then ask your doctor about possible medications to safely lower your stress levels
