What are the symptoms of appendicitis?

Severe abdominal pain in the lower right belly — where your appendix is — is a key sign of appendicitis. Symptoms often come on suddenly and get worse. They include:

  • Abdominal pain or tenderness that hurts more when you cough, sneeze, inhale or move.
  • Swollen belly.
  • Constipation.
  • Diarrhea.
  • Inability to pass gas.
  • Loss of appetite (not feeling hungry when you usually would).
  • Low-grade fever (below 100 degrees F).
  • Nausea and vomiting.
