pulse in my abdomen
14/f
Sometimes I can feel a pulse in my abdomen, not hard but just there, (not pregnant) and I thought it was normal until I looked online and saw that it's a symptom of an AAA which I forget how to spell. Anyway it scared the living crap out of me as I fear surgery. Are there other symptoms I should look out for? I know it's more of an elderly thing but I'm paranoid sometimes. Is it normal? Thank you!

Actually, feeling or seeing a pulse movement in/on your abdomen.. is perfectly normal. Someday try laying down with your head supported high enough to see your belly and just relax. Though, I know what you may be talking about (as I get a lot of pulse feelings in my belly, like a baby kicking) It's just your muscle having a spasm (I liked my wording there xD). It is nothing to worry about. Now if you get the twitching/pulsing and it's followed by very bad pain, I would go to the hospital to get that checked. So if you don't feel any pain, don't panic. Those twitching/pulsing feelings are normal, it's just your muscle spasming. Or like I previously stated, you can be feeling your heart-beat. Remember the closer you are to your heart, the stronger it'll look/feel.

It could be gas. see a doctor don't freak out, you need to get checked and stop worrying.

I have that, so do most people I know. Always have. Nothing is wrong. If you experience other serious symptoms then see a doctor but if you just feel a pulse in your abdomen it is totally normal.

This may be nothing... and it may be very serious. Sadly, nobody here can do much to help you know which it is.
I would go and have this checked out immediately. If it is nothing, then you have piece of mind. If it is serious, you may save your life by going in sooner than later.
Remember: One of the things you always hear about AAA patients is that they didn't take it seriously until it was too late. Don't be that person.

The only way to know for sure is through a doctor. Best of luck!

I'm not a doctor but if your basing your opinion on the fact that you can feel your pulse when you touch your abdomen; I would say based on what I have read, this is not systematic of Abdominal Aorta Aneurysm. Again based on the research I have done to answer your question; even a trained physician has problems detecting a Abdominal Aorta Aneurysm by palpation and need either an ultrasound or MRI to make the diagnoses.
