* Constipation or diarrhea
* Inability to pass gas
* Low fever
the appendix is a small, tube-like organ attached to the first part of the large intestine, also called the colon. It is located in the lower right area of the abdomen. It has no known function. A blockage inside of the appendix causes appendicitis. The blockage leads to increased pressure, problems with blood flow and inflammation. If the blockage is not treated, the appendix can break open and leak infection into the body.

Typical pain starts generally around the navel (umbilicus or belly button) and then localizes to right lower abdomen. You lose your appetite (usually).

sharp abdominal pain, feeling like you are going to throw up, being incredibly tired among other things. you would probably be able to call a hospital to get more specific symptoms.
