Hi everyone. I've been having some stomach issues since early this morning and would like to know if anyone knew what was going on. Since it's Sunday, I can't make it to the doctor quite yet, so I would appreciate answers. 
Early this morning, around 5:30 am, my stomach started feeling uncomfortable. It didn't really hurt, but it just didn't feel right. Shortly after, I got very hot and sweaty, and the nausea kicked in. It was pretty bad, but I thought I'd be able to just lay in bed and let it pass. I got up to pee around 7 am and I ended up throwing up. The nausea went away after that (and still has not returned as of 5:30 pm) but my stomach still feels bad. Sometimes it gets a little painful, but it's nothing really bad, and it goes away quickly.
My first concern was appendicitis, since I know it usually presents with an ache in the stomach, then nausea and sometimes vomiting. I'm very paranoid, to say the least, because any type of surgery scares me a great deal, so I'm terrified of having appendicitis, lol. I don't have a fever, and haven't all day. It hung around 97.9F for the longest (fairly normal for me), and is now at 98.5F. I have not had a bowel movement since late Monday night, but I am on my period (so no chance of pregnancy) and that usually constipates me. It's not unseen that I go that long normally without a BM, anyway.
I'm not feeling any pain in my right side. Sometimes the uncomfortable feeling travels down there, but it doesn't stay. In appendicitis, how long does it take for the general ache to travel to the right side? And it would stay there, correct? And I would be in a lot more pain than I am?
I'm sorry for the long post and the paranoia. I really just need some answers and reassurance that it isn't anything serious. I would really appreciate anything you have. Thank you!
