Get it checked: This could indicate just a muscle strain or it could be an inguinal hernia especially if you hold your breath while pressing. A doctor can tell the difference.

Could be a tear: Iif this pain or sensation occurs only with heavy weights you might be tearing something. I recommend you decrease or stop this particular activity for at least two weeks and then slowly resume. If the pain returns at a lower weight, after resting for two weeks, you might have developed a hernia. Good luck. Okay to use over the counter anti-inflammatories, like motrin.
