I have this weird symptom difficult to describe what do you think?

It's like when I push against the middle of my upper abdomen just under where the center of the rib cage ends I feel pressure and it hurts funny but it's not really pain - it's like a pressure. I can feel it when I bend over but not when I'm standing up. It's kind of dull and I don't feel it all the time. Isn't that just weird? I do have some yellowish green phlegm coming up with the cold that I have. I did have pnemonia once before and I didn't have a fever - just a pain in my back and then it progressed to a fever after I went to the hospital when the pain got severe. I didn't have the phlegm until after the fever broke when I had the pnemonia. I guess I should just keep a watch on this and see if the cold gets better or worse. It doesn't seem like I can breathe 100% deep like I should but I'm not totally oxygen deprived either. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with food - at least no changes when I eat. I do have occupational Raynauds disease and no other issues other than that I have had 4 kids and I can really feel that extra flap of skin on my flat abs which contributes to the weird pressure feeling. I think I'm going to rest a few days and see if it gets better or worse and then go to the doctor from there. I'm not coughing alot - just to hack up pleghm now and then. Isn't that H1N1 supposed to fill the lungs with fluid or something? Aren't we all supposed to check in with the doc if we have cold symptoms in case of H1N1 - but I don't have a fever and I don't feel deathly ill although I am very fatigued and requiring caffiene to get through the day. I've had the cold for a few days and don't most people recover from the H1N1 in about 3 days - but if I am compromised such as having a history of having had pnemonia then maybe I'm more at risk for it getting serious?
