What Cause Sharp Pain Behind The Navel?
Hello, all day I’ve had on and off pain in my abdomen. It becomes very sharp when I laugh or blow my nose. It’s mostly behind my bellybutton but sometimes the pain moves lower to my pelvis. I don’t know what it is but it’s making me very anxious. Please help

Hello,
Please get an ultrasound abdomen done because usually, pain around the umbilicus and radiating to the right side of the abdomen is a clinical sign of appendicitis.
So, kindly get the ultrasound reports, if appendicitis is found, then you need to take antibiotics for 2 to 4 weeks. Please get back to us with the reports.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana
