Anna, like you I've had this experience before - going back to being quite young. That's why I'm not real alarmed by it. When I was thinner I could sometime see pulsation in my abdomen, too, if I was lying down.

Hankster, unlike you I am told that my blood pressure is fine, and I check it myself. My blood work has always been great on things like cholesterol and triglycerides. Then, again, my blood pressure isn't quite as good as it used to be, and I have gained 30 pounds of excess weight over the past 20 years. Something now tells me that weight isn't doing me any good. I was 10 pounds heavier, which I lost. It might be more than wise to keep losing gradually.

Thanks, both of you.
