it might be..... i saw this dude in hospital last week as he was going into theatre, his abdo had a pulsating lump, that was an aneurysm.....

Unlucky for your 'dude'.

but the poster does not have an aneurysm. I'm pretty confident of that.

In all likelyhood its a muscle spasm. Most people get them. I get them in my rt thigh. my ex used to get one in her forehead.
nothing to worry about.


I'm sorry if this was serious - but what do you mean in her forehead, like some kind of uber throbbing headach?I've never heard of a heam spasm...

No, i mean in the forehead muscles - you know, the one that raises your eyebrows...

Its called frontalis i believe.

I just checked my abdomen i can feel a beat too!, however it doesnt worry me at all. Infact i'm quite relieved as it shows blood is actually being pumped around my body.

You can feel a beat pretty much anywhere if you try hard enough.

If you're slim the most likely cause is the pulsation of your abdominal aorta.

That sounds like a line from a Faithless song.
