What Does Appendicitis Feel Like?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
7. Vomiting
Where there is nausea, there is also often vomiting, albeit not always. Vomiting is a very natural action that helps us to eject anything from the body that might be harmful to us. This can help to keep us safe, even if it is not a nice experience. It is not always so helpful to us, however.
Some people with appendicitis will vomit, and this can make things a lot worse for them. The tensing of the muscles will likely cause a lot more pain for the patient, especially if the vomiting is particularly violent. Vomiting also has the chance of causing malnutrition in the long term, and might even cause the appendix to rupture.
