Any : Any abdominal pain is always concerning for patients, and rightfully so. If a patient has new or persistent pain that lasts over several hours, they need to have medical evaluation. If a patient has vomiting or fever they need immediate medical evaluation. Typically, appendicitis starts in the upper abdomen, then the pain moves down to the right lower abdomen. It is usually accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and sometimes by fever. The patient often does not want to eat and has no appetite. Pain in the right lower abdomen should always raise suspicion for appendicitis. To evaluate for appendicitis, often a ct scan is performed. Ct scans usually, though not always, show the appendix to show if it is enlarged or appears infected.

You should have scan: If you doctor thinks you have an emergency situation then you should really listen to them. You went to your doctor for their advice and if they think you need something urgent then you should listen.
