The symptoms you're experiencing, including severe nausea, tenderness in the upper right abdomen, tenderness near the belly button, pain with deep breaths, and tenderness in the lower back, are concerning and may indicate a variety of potential health issues. These symptoms could be related to conditions such as gastritis, appendicitis, urinary tract infection, or other gastrointestinal or abdominal issues. It's important to seek medical attention promptly to receive a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment. I strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider as soon as possible for further assessment. If your symptoms worsen or if you experience severe pain, difficulty breathing, or other concerning symptoms, please seek immediate medical attention, such as going to an urgent care facility or emergency room.
