When I get angry or upset I get a sharp pain that feels like cramps in my abdomen area, i suppose the area around 2 inches above the belly button and about 2/3 inches below. Could this possibly mean that i may be pregnant. And if not then what else could it possibly be?

Without a lot to go on, it is hard to determine what the exact cause is, it could be that you are pregnant or it could be one of many other issues.

 

Other more unusual causes of abdominal pain include a type of emotional upset called somatization disorder, reflected as physical discomfort (including recurrent abdominal pain).

 

Somatization disorder is a chronic condition in which there are numerous physical complaints. These complaints can last for years, and result in substantial impairment. The physical symptoms are caused by psychological problems, and no underlying physical problem can be identified.

Causes    

The disorder is marked by multiple physical complaints that persist for years, involving any body system. Most frequently, the complaints involve chronic pain and problems with the digestive system, the nervous system, and the reproductive system. The disorder usually begins before the age of 30 and occurs more often in women than in men. Recent research has shown higher percentages of this disorder in people with irritable bowel syndrome and chronic pain patients.

Somatization disorder is highly stigmatized, and patients are often dismissed by their physicians as having problems that are "all in your head." However, as researchers study the connections between the brain, the digestive system, and the immune system, somatization disorders are becoming better understood. They should not be seen as "faked" conditions that the patient could end if he or she chose to do so.

The symptoms are generally severe enough to interfere with work and relationships and lead the person to visit the doctor and even take medication. A lifelong history of "sickliness" is often present. However, despite thorough investigation, no specific underlying physical cause is ever identified to account for the symptoms. Stress often worsens the symptoms.

Symptoms    

 

Some of the numerous symptoms that can occur with somatization disorder include:

 

If you have any of these symptoms and or continue to have pains, I would advise that you see your primary care physician. It is important to take care of your health.

 

Good luck and best wishes.

Before you convince yourself you have Somatization Disorder there are a few more common disorders that could cause the symptoms you mention. For example PMS could be one cause of these symptoms. There are also several gastric conditions that could give the same clinical manifestation.

My suggestion is simply go see your doctor if your pain persists and get this issue checked out.
