Go to an MD for a: general physical to R/O that you actually have appendicitis. If you are healthy, then there is more to look at, starting with hypochondriasis--a form of anxiety disorder focusing on fear of contracting medical or psychological conditions when there is no physical evidence. This is when you go see a psychologist.
