stomach pain, temperature and vomiting

[loz6043]

Before i went to bed last night i had a real bad pain in the centre of my stomach i didn't think much of it but when i woke up this morning the pain had moved lower and to the right of my stomach, i haven't been able to (or even wanted to) eat and the pain is making me be sick. one of my flat mate took my temperature and said it was 38.0°C (100.4°F), which she said was a little high.

any clues whats wrong and what i should do about it?

Hi and thanks for using the forum.

What you have described are classic symptoms of appendicitis.  I recommend that you see your doctor as soon as possible to rule this out or go right to the ER for evaluation.  If appendicitis is ruled out, this could be anything from some constipation to a stomach virus, or even somthing like an ectopic pregnancy. This really needs to be evaluated.  Good luck.
