Ok um, I went to school today and I was feeling fine and everything, when the bell goes for the end of Science and I pick up my books. As I pick up my books, they nudge against my lower adbomen and i realise it hurts to touch.

I put my books in my bag and i experiment with pressing the area. It is the area just bellow my belly button and its a very small area. It doesn't hurt just normally when I'm just sitting there, but when I press it, it hurts quite a bit.

I'm really scared it's appendicitis. I told my father and he pressed my stomach and asked if the pain got worse when he took his hand away and it felt ok, but then again he did say he might not be doing it right. Of course now I've started to worry I'm imagining symptoms and I've lost my appetite and am starting to feel sick. Does anyone know whether this could be appendicitis? Or if not what it could be? Someone told me it could be a hernia, but appendicitis is my main worry.
