Does AAA (abdominal Auortic Anuarism) Cause Strong Pulse Above The Belly Button?

Hello I am 18 years old, about 5 foot 1 and weigh 139 pounds. Recently I have been noticing a strong pulse above my belly button. I have been looking online and have researched that it could be abdominal auortic anuarism or AAA. This really scares me because it can be caused by medications that raise your blood pressure, and I used to be on birth control ( dopo provera) I had my last injection in a. I was due for another injection in december but didn't go because I did not like the side effects.
