What are symptoms of appendicitis?

Option D

Symptoms of appendicitis progress over several hours to a couple of days, and usually begin with mild pain near the belly button that moves to the lower right quadrant of the belly and becomes sharper. This pain usually is worse when you try to move, take deep breaths, or cough and sneeze. Sometimes the pain occurs suddenly, and it can be very severe, different from other abdominal pain you've felt before.

Other symptoms of appendicitis that accompany the abdominal pain include:
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and/or vomiting
- Abdominal bloating or swelling
- Constipation, diarrhea, and gas (or an inability to pass gas)
- Fever
- Feeling like a bowel movement will relieve the pain
- Pain elsewhere in the abdomen, in the back, or in the rectal area
- Indigestion
- Painful urination
- General feeling of being unwell (malaise)
