Have Belly Button Pain And Pulse Like Sensation. Is It A Result Of Lifting Heavy Things?
I do some heavy lifting at work and think I may have overdone it . I have had pain above and behind my belly button all week when I bend over or lift things up, and now have noticed a heartbeat-like pulse when I press down on the area . I have to throw freight tonight and worry I'm gonna really mess myself up. Any thoughts ?

Hi and welcome to HCM,thank you for your query.
Yes. it can be umbilical hernia and this is the first thing to think of.however it can be caused by some other subcutaneous lesions or some intraabdominal patology so you should do at least ultrasound to verify is there something wrong. Such pain may be felt in stomach or gallbladder issues.
Wish you good health. Regards
