It feels as if my belly button is throbbing and something is pressing on it. no pain at all. signs of something serious?

Probably not, if new: It if just started and you have no other symptoms it is probably no big deal. Sometimes docs don't know why folks have some sensations or symptoms, if minor. (We usually know when symptoms could serious though!) With any change in your bodies functioning, if it is not uncomfortable and lasts briefly, wait it out. If it lasts more than a few hours or days or other symptoms appear see a doc.
