I've been noticing my stomach has this pulsating sensation, especially when I'm sitting or sleeping upright. I've been dealing with IBS and gas, but the pulsating started around 8 months ago and it's got me a bit anxious. It even feels more intense when I start to think about it. It almost feels like a heartbeat. Should I be worried about this?

Pulsation of stomach is not related to IBS. Pulsation can be normally seen in thin build person where you will feel the pulsation at the exact time as the heart beat(there actually exist few microsecond difference but cannot appreciate) Different disease wherein we see the pulsation in stomach are Abdominal Aorta Aneurysm(AAA), vascular malformation, Thyroid disorders and many more for which you will need to do certain investigations.
