<human>: Hi, I am a 31 yr old male and have been experiencing some tenderness and pain to the right of my navel, lately. I am unsure whether it is just a muscle pain or whether it is a digestive disorder. I have been exercising since the past 5 months (mainly cardio) to lose belly fat. I lost about 9 pounds in the first 4 months and another 4 in the past month. I have been diagnosed with gastroesophagal reflux disease for which I am taking omerprazole. I am also taking Miralax to increase water content in the colon. TSH, differential and CBC tests were done and everything seemed normal. CT scans of my stomach and a recently concluded X ray did not indicate anything serious but there appeared to be lot of stool in the colon. I am on a minimal fat vegetarian diet that is free of caffeine, acidic and spicy foods.
<bot>: Hi. Thanks for your query. Read and understood your history and the problems. You are 31 years old male with pain on the right side of the naval, exercising for 5 months for loosing belly fat, taking Omeprazole for HERD, CT scan and X-rays normal . This indicates for a probable cause as muscular. The internal problems can be with pancreas, duodenum, transverse colon, but CT rules many of these. Get a clinical evaluation and physical examination by a General Surgeon to see if you have myalgic of the rectus muscle or a hernia in this situation for a proper diagnosis ad correct treatment.
