What Causes Painful Swelling In The Right Side Of The Abdomen?

I m a 48 year old male and have pain and swelling in my stomach on the right side towards the ribcage. Also I m experiencing for several days bleeding from my belly button and black tary stool. There are so many different diagnosis with all these symptoms. I will say the pain is at its peak when I m asleep and for the first few hours of my day. My right side stops hurting unless I move a certain way or push down on it.(Really I thought this was to help people not another way to make a profit. Thanks for nothing)
