Is my appendix about to explode?!


Question: Is my appendix about to explode.?
Okay. So my stomach and intestines both hurt really bad and I'm kind of bloated. I ate spicy food for dinner, so that might be causing that. But there's also this pain at about my hip bone on the right side. It's not intense or sharp, but dull like a bruise, and it doesn't hurt when I poke it or push on it. It hurts to walk, but that's mostly because of the stomach ache--and I kind of feel that dull pain on my side too. I don't feel any nausea or fever, but some loss of appetite. It's the middle of the night and I don't want to cause a big fuss if it really IS just the spicy food, so can you all please help me....? Health Question & Answer


Answers:
It sounds as if the spicy food gave you some problems, but, you are right to pay attention to the pain in your right side. More than likely, it is just a side effect form your other gastric symptoms.The true test will be if the pain resolves once you move your bowels! In the mean time, you can safely take a pain reliever such as Tylenol or Advil and try placing a heating pad against the area. This could be un-related to your spicy food encounter and just a poorly timed ovulating pain. If the pain should continue or worsen, if you should spike a fever &/or experience shaking chills,&/ or begin vomiting- these would be reasons to seek medical help. If the symptoms seem to respond well to tylenol and some heat or disappear after gas or a bm, then you have your answer. Hopefully, this is just a gassy gut and you will feel better soon, but pay attention if any of the above mentioned symptoms occur and don't hesitate to seek a medical opinion. Good luck!Health Question & Answer

Its probably the food or maybe you are ovulating.

If its your appendix it wont hurt when you poke it, but if u press it will be extremely painful when you let go of it.

Appendicitis is also associated with nausea and definately a fever as you said. If its you appendix it will become increasingly more painful b4 it bursts,

I wouldnt be too worried unless it starts to hurt more or you have other symptomsHealth Question & Answer

Its not your appendix, based from what you said. Why don't you put your knees and hands rested on the floor, so the gas you've been storing there will go out!Health Question & Answer
