Is Intermittent Pain Below The Navel Point A Cause For Concern?
Question: I have intermittent pain below the belly button. When it comes every few minutes it is agonising. I have taken Co-codamol to no effect. It is very tender when touched but there is nothing to see.
Should I be concerned?
Do I need to see a doctor tonight?
My armpit temperature is 36.3. My heart rate is 93 - 94 bpm. My O2 level is 92 - 95%.
My blood pressure is 144/90 aprox.
The pain is throbbing in nature. There is no difference in sitting, standing or lying down.
Yesterday the pain was to the right of the belly button but is now more central.
I can eat and drink normally.
