Needs evaluation: The mi imal symptoms you are reporting are very suspicious for acute appendicitis. There are other possibilities as well, but since there is a possibility of an inflamed appendix, I suggest you see a doctor today to have these symptoms evaluated.

Exam needed: If these symptoms are acute and not due to a strain of your abdominal muscles, acute appendicitis is always a concern with right lower abdominal pain especially if there's associated tenderness. I recommend proceeding to the hospital emergency room where prompt evaluation and testing are available.
