What Does Severe Pain Around The Navel Indicate?

Hello. Over the past few days I ve had mild to very bad pain in my upper/ middle abdomen, around my belly button and above. I was in pain all day Thursday and then Friday I was ok, but now I am in some pain again today. I am also very bloated. I am having bowel movements but they don t feel complete so I am not sure if it is just gas or constipation. I don t want to spend money at urgent care if that s likely what it is. Can you tell me what it may sound like?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of constipation and gaseous bloating of abdomen is more likely.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
3. Drink plenty of fluids orally. Take more high fiber diet like pulses, vegetables and fruits.
4. Eat more curd, yogurt and buttermilk.
5. Take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination on empty stomach twice.
6. Go for walking after meals.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 2-3 days.
If no improvement is seen after 3 days, consult doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
