What Does Appendicitis Feel Like?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
6. Nausea
In addition to pain, appendicitis can also cause some other very unwelcome symptoms, one of which is nausea. Most people will experience the symptom but it can range in severity from person to person, although the level of the pain is often toward the higher end of the scale.
Some patients describe the nausea as being relatively mild at first. They might think that they had eaten something that’s making them ill, or maybe even that they were suffering from a hangover. The nausea will often get worse to the point where the patient is in no doubt that something is wrong.
