Hi ! Appendicitis is more of a clinical diagnosis and sonogram may be a corroborative investigation in arriving at the diagnosis. However, once you are being examined by your treating doctor and the sonogram also shows that you have got acute appendicitis, then the right treatment for this condition is emergency surgery after doing all other routine investigations like blood and urine test. Not infrequently some physician treat this with antibiotics to control the infection without surgery, but this carries the risk of perforation and other complications related to appendix and so I as a surgeon would not advise you for the same. The Blood Pressure checked for you does not need any treatment for the time being as the upper (systolic) level could be due to the pain in abdomen. The vibration in your body is also not related to your present symptoms of pain abdomen. This might be due to the anxiety factor if no other neurological problem is faced by you. I would suggest you to consult a general surgeon at the earliest for management of acute appendicitis. Wishing you an early recovery.
Usually, acute apendicitis is treated through operation unless your doctor decides that you should go for any oral treatment (usually antibiotics) and see the progress.
Your bp came up high (140/70), maybe, because of stress of having abdominal pain. Although it seems high, it might be temporary until your abdominal pain is resolved.
I suggest to talk to your doctor to measure your BP for 1 week to see the oscillations and decide the best treatment for your acute apendicitis.
Hope it helped!
