So I went to my doctor to get to the bottom of my anxiety...which was a aorta aneurysm fear as I see my stomach pulse hard and feel it all the time...I got a sonogram and all is fine...my problem is by me feeling my stomache pulse is annoying and not use to it....he said that if I'm still worried he is putting me on a medication like Zoloft....so hard and frustrating...

Meds like Zoloft can help you reason with your anxieties better. Without meds, many of us cannot overcome our anxieties with rational thinking alone. But meds can calm you down. And when you do feel a little nervous, reasoning with yourself can reduce or eliminate irrational anxieties while on the right pill.

I see mine pulse too, sometimes it really bothers me.
I think it happens especially after I've eaten, I get exhausted and all the blood goes to my stomach, because I have IBS symptoms, I guess...

Some people have a more obvious "stomach pulse" than others. My partners, for example, is so strong that it feels like there's another heart in her stomach!

The pulse you see comes from the largest artery in our bodies, the abdominal aorta. This comes directly from the heart & feeds all major organs & blood vessels.

Absolutely normal.
