Irregular Pulsing In Abdomen. Family History Of AAA. What Is It?

I have a very noticeable, irregular pulsing in my upper abdomen. To be exact, it is a little below my sternum and slightly to the right. It does not coincide with my heartbeat at all. I am 5'4" and weigh 100 lbs. My mother has AAA. The pulsing is not painful (yet), but is very annoying. It started about 3 weeks ago and is all day long. Should I be worried that I may have AAA also? What does it sound like to you?

Hi, thank you for posting at Health Care Magic.

By refering your symptoms I think that you don't suffer from AAA syndrome. Those symptoms are related with your astenic type(construct of your body). If you would suffer from AAA syndrome you would have those symptoms:
1) Pain in the abdomen or back, severe, sudden, persistent, or constant.
2) High Heart Rate.
3) Wet skin.
4) Dizziness.

To be sure that you don't suffer from this syndrome you need:
1) Ultrasound of abdominal.
2) CT scan of the abdomen.
3) Angiogram.
*You need to contact a cardiologist.

Take Care.
