Hello! :) I've had this symptom countless times before and freaked out every time thinking it was appendicitis but, turns out it was my IBS flaring up. So if you know you have IBS then this is probably what's causing it. But if not, try not to worry too much. If it gets worse go to see a doctor but i'm sure you'll be okay! Stay strong! x
