A member asked:

I have been having really weird feeling/pain just above my belly button and i don't know why. i have constipation bowel movements if that helps?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Constipation: Constipation can absolutely cause a slight pain or weird feeling above your belly button. The best way to combat constipation is to drink 6-8 12 ounce glasses of water per day and have a diet rich in fiber. If your discomfort continues or gets worse it may be a good idea to see your primary physician.
