What Causes A Lump On The Belly Button With Decrease In Appetite?
I have a lump just above my belly button with a strong pulse, it hurts when pushed. I am experiencing a decrease of appetite. If I eat it makes my stomach hurt worse and if I drink carbonated beverages my stomach is in extreme pain like burning/fire pain.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have umbilical hernia or paraumbilical hernia or some soft tissue tumor of abdominal wall. You should go for ultrasound study of that lump. If it is soft tissue tumor then go for excision biopsy. If it is hernia then go for hernia repair surgery.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
