Can it be indigestion?

Off and on for about 4 days now, the area above the navel has been aching. It's woken me up continuosly during the night and I've taken activated charcoal and oriental medicine incase it is food poisoning. I took pepto bismol yesterday and though it woke me up at 2 AM because of the pain, I haven't gotten it since. Was it indigestion or should I still go to the hospitol to check it out?

Get it checked out, could be umbilical hernia, also even be symptoms of appendictis (the pain on right side is not all the true symptoms of it). Could be a number of things, but it isn't getting better, so best to get it checked out.

if its really bad, you should see a doctor. if pepto-bismol is helping at all, its probably gas.
