HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you are having severe abdominal pain, it would be best to see your doctor for assessment to rule out a surgical cause of the pain.
On the right side of the abdomen, the most common surgical cause would be appendicitis however if the pain is above the umbilicus in the epigastric region, it may be related to the stomach.
A thorough history and examination are the only sure ways to determine the source of the pain.
I hope this helps
