This is something: That you need to pay attention immediately . It is hard to put finger on it based on the story but seems that it could be appendicitis among other condition. Good luck.

I wouldnt hit: The panic button yet but if you have fever, nausea or vomiting i would go in; chances are it will improve on its own. Good luck.
