What Causes Pinching Sensation In Abdomen?

Hello, so for quite awhile I have felt pinching in my abdomen. It s not very severe pain but it s very uncomfortable. I even feel this pain in dreams, but amplified. It s mostly to the right of my bellybutton. It feels like, on the inside, something is twisting and punching. Could this be a big problem? I m really concerned.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Pain in this area can be due to irritation of appendix or inflammation of large intestine. A physical examination by general surgeon followed by ultrasound examination should be done to rule out the condition. Even fatty liver can givesuch. Ultrasound examination will help to rule out that also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
