It's good you're going to a doc for a check-up.
It would be difficult to diagnose you symptoms properly without being seen.
But these are symptoms for Appendicitis.

Test:
· A physical exam based upon the symptoms.
· A urine test to rule out a urinary tract infection (UTI).
· Ultrasound can show an inflamed appendix.

· A blood count is taken to see if the white blood cell count is elevated, as is usually the case in acute appendicitis. If the doctor does suspect appendicitis, surgery will need to be performed within the next few hours. If not, the appendix can rupture and go into a condition known as peritonitis. Pus from the infected appendix spreads into the abdominal cavity, causing blood poisoning.

Symptoms:
· Generalized abdominal cramps. Pain usually begins near the navel and moves down to the lower right. The pain becomes worse when the person moves or touches the area.

· Nausea or vomiting.
· Elevated temperature.
· Increased pulse rate.
· Loss of appetite.
· Constipation.
· Abdominal swelling.

In appendicitis these symptoms tend to become more severe as time passes. Not everyone with appendicitis has all the symptoms. Never should a laxative or enema be taken if you suspect appendicitis. These medications can cause the appendix to rupture.

I don't know. It could be some type of infection or blockage. I hope everything works out fine with your appointment.
