It is possible: There are a lot of other possibilities (particularly gynecological) but appendicitis is possible and the most urgent to be ruled out in er setting. Appendicitis usually starts as a discomfort/pain that is more vague and periumbilical (around the belly button) and then moves more focused to the right lower quadrant called mcburney's point. Usually you would not have a desire to eat.
