Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Please give additional information for me to assist you better:
Is the pulsation deep within abdomen or in the abdominal wall?
Can you feel the pulsation with palm of hand?
Any other symptoms related to urinary or intestinal system?
Any other information please.

Awaiting for your detailed feedback.

Take care.

Brief Answer:
As detailed.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
These pulsation are usually due to muscles going into continuous spasms and relaxations. Also called as tics. This occurs due to spontaneous release of nerve impulses and has usually no specific cause.
Yet it is better to consult a Neurologist for clinical evaluation, further investigations as suggested by clinical examination; serum electrolytes and as advised.
It is very rare to have any vascular problem without any symptoms.

I hope this answer helps you.
