Brief Answer: could be appendicitis or ibs Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for writing to HCM. You could be having either appendicitis or irritable bowel syndrome. First you need to see a surgeon for a physical examination, as for appendicitis, its the most important investigation. Also you can get a complete blood count and routine urine test and an ultrasound abdomen to help come to a diagnosis. IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion. Further management will depend upon the above results. Hope i have been helpful. Get well soon. Dr. Ashish Verma
