"Untreated, mortality is high, mainly due to peritonitis and shock."
"Appendicitis can be classified into two types, typical and atypical. The pain of typical acute appendicitis usually starts centrally (periumbilical) before localising to the right iliac fossa (the lower right side of the abdomen). There is usually associated loss of appetite and fever. Nausea, or vomiting may or may not occur. These classic signs and symptoms are the least painful way to localize the area of peritonitis. If the abdomen is involuntarily guarded (rigid), there should be a strong suspicion of peritonitis requiring urgent surgical intervention."
Hmm..it may be rigid, not too sure. But I'm guessing a sign is not being able to stand up okay. I had a bit of nausea, but that's about it. There was some loss of appetite b/c my stomach was hurting and who wants to eat when it hurts? But I had no problems eating any food. No fever either.
Hmm..don't think this is it, but I will go for a checkup if the pain doesn't go away in a few days. It's already starting to subside so maybe it was a stomach flu that just effected my stomach and not the rest of my body.
