What Causes Pressure Above The Navel?
I am a 68 year old male and I have been having pressure growling and some pain in my bowel area just above the belly button. Nothing seems to want to go down or out. Have been checked for blockage and there seems to be none. Can t sleep because of this and am starting to not think well. Do you have any ideas?
