Probably nothing or related to stress

Since lockdown started I got some anxiety and panic attack which eventually easy out and I got better, even seen a professional to get some help.
I had some right side pain, which was mostly bloating and I could feel it when I put my hand over it and I helped with some massage, but eventually it did go away but then came back again.
I got in touch with my GP and I got some mebeverine and it helped out and it stopped the pain when bloating.
During all this process, didnt have diarrhoea or sh*titng blood, all was good just bloating.
Also got some blood test to check if I am lactose intolerance and wheat and some liver tests. All came back negative.
Also done some home kit test with letsgetchecked such as colon cancer( you never know.. ) and Coeliac but all of them came back negative.
I have to admit that bloating is basically gone but sometimes, If I lay down and I put my hand on the right side and I can eventually feel movements and then it starts to get a bit itchy inside or burning ( not sure what is the right term ). If I use my hand massage around the area I dont feel pain, not even if I put pressure so it is all good.
It mostly gets this itch/burning sensation if I leave my hand over the right side. I feel like it might be just normal if you leave your hand and it gets that sensation or maybe can it be an irritation such a Helicobacter pylori ? I ordered a test to see if it potentially is that so I am waiting.
It might sound crazy but I wish I can get that small sensation gone as I sorted out almost everything during the last months, from anxiety, panic attack and bloating.
Btw, I was diagnosed with IBS years ago and over the lockdown I eat more plant base food, but still eat meat now and then.
I have not lost weight and I can eat almost everything without any problems.
I wish I could see my doctor like face to face and explain a bit better but this pandemic made my GP a bit more hard to get hold and almost impossible to have a sit down with him.

Itchy/ burning sensation on the right side of your abdomen eased after massaging, it doesn't sound like anything serious. But since it is affecting your quality of life, it has to be sorted out.
Most probably, you have gas build up in your tummy that could be the culprit. Gas is the result of improper digestion or an imbalance in the number of bacteria inside your intestines.
You may try a probiotic supplement.
Cut down weight if you are overweight ( check your BMI).
Eat small meals, chew your food properly and avoid fried stuff.
You do sound anxious ( which is common in these gloomy pandemic times), so try some relaxing exercises like yoga , meditation.
Walking briskly for 45 min is a great exercise for you.
With lifestyle changes, you can treat majority of your health problems.
Do consult a gastroenterologist whenever you get an appointment.
Good luck.
