My abdomen is pulsing like CRAZY in time with my heart beat. It's a really strong, hard "th-thump, th-thump". It's definitely my heart beat, not digestive.I just had an abdominal X-ray a few days ago; it didn't show anything besides bad gas and constipation. I don't think it's an aortic aneurysm or anything. I had some chest pain yesterday, but I often get that with upper-abdominal gas.Does anybody else get this?

There are some big arteries in your abdomen and they would all have a pulse. Just like the arteries in your neck, arms and legs.

I totally get this - but only when I lay down or when I first go to bed.

I've had this for years... I agree with above. It is worse when laying down but if my stomach isn't bothering me that day, I never notice it. I really only notice it when I am feeling sick. I've made my family put their hand on my stomach to feel it too... They all think it is abnormal because theirs doesn't pulse like mine.
