Appendicitis typically starts with a pain in the middle of your tummy (abdomen) that may come and go. Within hours, the pain travels to your lower right-hand side, where the appendix is usually located, and becomes constant and severe. Pressing on this area, coughing or walking may make the pain worse.
What does appendix pain feel like?
The most telltale symptom of appendicitis is a sudden, sharp pain that starts on the right side of your lower abdomen. It may also start near your belly button and then move lower to your right. The pain may feel like a cramp at first, and it may get worse when you cough, sneeze, or move.
What are the early warning signs of appendicitis?
- Pain in your lower right belly or pain near your navel that moves lower. This is usually the first sign.
- Loss of appetite.
- Nausea and vomiting soon after belly pain begins.
- Swollen belly.
- Fever of 99-102 degrees.
- Can't pass gas.
