4 Signs That Indicate Your Appendix Is About To Burst
Most people are pretty familiar with run-of-the-mill tummy troubles like constipation and diarrhea.
You've probably also had the displeasure of experiencing food poisoning or a stomach virus
at least once or twice in your life.
While appendicitis is much less common, about 5 percent of the population eventually ends
up with it,
and if you fall into that unlucky group, you'll need to figure it out as soon as possible.
If it is not treated, your appendix can rupture, which can be life-threatening.
Not every case of appendicitis will lead to the organ bursting, but the longer the condition
goes unchecked, the greater the risk.
Today I'm going to share with you,
4 Key Warning Signs That Indicate Your Appendix Is About To Burst.
Let's get started.
Signs #1.
Your Stomach Hurts More Than it ever has before.
Appendicitis usually causes severe pain that extends from the belly button to the lower
right side of the abdomen.
While this doesn't necessarily mean your appendix is about to burst,
you may need an imaging test, like a CT scan, to find out.
If it hurts when you're doing things like walking, coughing, or going over a bump in
a car,
your whole abdominal wall could be inflamed.
Your appendix might be on the verge of bursting, or it might have already ruptured.
Signs #2.
You're Nauseous, Vomiting, And have No Appetite.
You might just be battling a stomach bug, and not everyone with appendicitis will have
these symptoms.
But if you're feeling really queasy in addition to having bad pain, get checked out.
Inflammation of the appendix sometimes impacts other aspects of the GI tract and the nervous
system
and leads to nausea and vomiting.
Signs #3.
You're running to The Bathroom a Lot More Than Usual.
In some people, the appendix is positioned lower in the pelvis, so it's pretty close
to the bladder.
And when the bladder comes into contact with an inflamed appendix,
the bladder also becomes inflamed and irritated.
As a result, you may feel like you have to pee all the time—and it hurts when you do.
Of course, this could also signal a UTI, but when coupled with other symptoms on this list
it could point to appendicitis.
Signs #4.
You're Shivering and Running a Fever.
A fever and chills means there's inflammation somewhere in your body.
If your appendix is inflamed, the body responds by releasing several chemicals to ring the
alarm and bring fighter cells to the area,
which can manifest as localized pain as well as whole-body symptoms like fever, and chills.
These are the key Warning Signs That Indicate Your Appendix Is about
to Burst.
