10 Ruptured Appendix Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #9: Vomiting
Vomiting, puking, or throwing up is the act where there is involuntary expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth and, occasionally, the nose. It can be due to gastritis, poisoning, motion sickness, traumatic brain injury, chemotherapy, and side effects of medications.
Vomiting may or may not be preceded by nausea. Vomiting is a common symptom seen among patients with appendicitis. It almost always follows the onset of pain and suggests that there may be underlying obstruction. Severe pain can also contribute to nausea and vomiting.
