heartbeat in stomach Posted: 01-31-08 19:28pm


Ok i have a question. is it normal to have your heartbeat in your stomach? When you laying down you can see your stomach jump by itself

Yes, this is normal. You have a very large artery in your abdomen and it is possible to see it pulsate.

Totally! Happens to me too. It's the dipped-in area beneath my sternum. I can see it beating whenever I lay down and relax and hold out my breath for a few seconds. It's completely normal!

Yep, it's called your abdominal aorta.
