While you don't have symptoms currently with a 13mm gallstone, the best approach is usually to consult with a general surgeon. While some options exist to dissolve or remove gallstones without surgery, the decision on whether or not to intervene depends on your overall health, the size and type of gallstone, and your individual risk factors.

Question

I'm 19 years old and recently noticed something strange - my stomach moves in a way that feels like a heartbeat. I'm not sure if it's something that has always been there, but I've only noticed it in the last couple of months. Could this be something normal or should I be worried about it?
