Likely not appy: Your description is far from typical of appendicitis. An inflamed appendix is usually quite tender when you push down on it. It also tends to me a more constant pain than you describe. However, if you start feeling feverish, nauseated, and like you are no longer hungry, then it would be wise to be evaluated for appendicitis by a physician.
