Hi and thanks for the clarifications.

Pulsating sensation in the abdomen could be because of:

1) A normal aortic pulsation which is more easily felt - this occurs if a person is lean or has lost considerable weight. This can also happen if there is a mass lesion in front of the aorta.
2) Aortic aneurysm where the aorta may be ballooned out.

A careful examination by a good physician and an ultrasound abdomen is mandatory to confirm the cause of pain abdomen and pulsating feeling.

Hope this answers your query. Please accept my answer in case you have no follow up queries.

Wish you good health.

Regards.
