First of all check that is it beating at the same rate as heart beats (i.e. 60- 90/min). If yes than it may be either due to pulsations of thoracic aorta or sometimes due to beating of right ventricle.
Do not worry for any pulsations in your body untill it is creating a discomfort to you. There are any arteries in our body whose pulsations can be felt superficially.
