A member asked:
I have pain directly above my belly button. it hurts when touched and sometimes when i move. dr can't see me till next tues. will taking half of an ambien (zolpidem) for the pain make matters worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely not: Ambien (zolpidem) will do nothing for the pain, but will make you sleepy. Try ibuprofen for the pain. If pain constant, or worsens, get to E.R. Sounds as if it may be an umbilical hernia. Good Luck.
