My stomach moves with each passing heart beat.

So I'm laying on my back, leaning against the wall, and I notice that my stomach is moving (and no it isn't me breathing). It seems to be my heart beat.

Is that normal? :confused:

Blackouts, stomach moving with heartbeat -- sounds like it's time for you to cut back on the drinking.

As far back as I can remember I could see my chest move with each heartbeat when I am sitting/lying still.

When I'm laying down with a book open on my chest the whole thing moves.

I think you're pregnant. You should go get a home pregnancy test and report back.

Yeah, same thing happens to me. I asked my doc about it and he said its pretty normal but sometimes its caused by a dilation in your aorta.

Happens to me too. I've always thought it was fairly abnormal.

No, It's deadly just like your usual health related posts.

its normal, you have to remember that you have to major blood transports going through there. Your aorta heads straight down to provide your legs and trunk with blood.
