Pain near belly button?!
Question: Last night I woke up with a sharp, stabbing pain around my bellybutton and heading downwards. Any ideas as to what it could be? Was it maybe just gas? I haven't really felt good for a few days, kind of like my stomach has been bothering me, and I've had diarrhea.

Consult your doctor immediately! It could be an Appedicitis.The main symptom of appendicitis is belly (abdominal) pain. The pain can feel like indigestion or like you need to have a bowel movement or pass gas. Many people feel the first pain near the belly button. Then it moves to the lower right side of the belly. But the pain can be in different parts of your belly or even on your side. The pain may get worse if you move, walk, or cough. You may also have a fever or feel sick to your stomach.
You may have appendicitis if:
* You have pain in your belly. The pain may begin around your belly button.
* The pain in your belly gets stronger and moves below your belly button on your right side (the lower right quadrant). This is the most common place to feel pain when you have appendicitis.
* The pain does not go away and gets worse when you move, walk, or cough.
* You have pain in any part of your belly or on your side.
* You feel nauseated or throw up a few times. You also may not feel like eating.
* You have constipation, back pain, a slight fever, or a swollen abdomen.
Probably just a stomach virus or too many tacos. (lol)
If it doesn't get better with a little pepto bismol then seeing your doc would be good. Just to make sure it isn't something bad like icoli (which I HIGHLY doubt)
