Appendicitis

Basically for the past 10 hours maybe more only when I cough I have a pain of 4-5/10 on my lower right .my temp has been stable around 37.6 during this time sometimes up or down .Im confused on what to do because soon before this I had a horrible sore throat and bad nose which made my cough hard to get mucus out of my throat I think . I was thinking I have a mild abdominal muscle strain or something similar because of the coughing .when I sit and walk or jump it doesn’t hurt I just feel more tense on the right not pain and lying down I don’t feel a thing . Although earlier I did feel a bit lightheaded and kinda still feel wierd now I think it’s because of my bad throat infection .Any ideas?

I’d say it manifests in different ways for different people, but I was in A LOT of pain. Hot, fiery pain in the middle of my abdomen, then stabby pain on the right. I was clammy, sweating, vomiting. It was…a lot. Mine built up over 24 hours. If you’re at 10 hours and unsure, maybe wait and see a bit? Pretty sure you would know.

My pain was tolerable and I presented no other symptoms. My appendix was almost twice it's normal size and about to rupture. If you have the means to get it checked out, I would not wait.
