Dull stomach pain to the lower right of abdomen
Could be: Appendicitis
The pain usually starts at the center of your stomach and gradually moves to the right. If the appendix does rupture, that can be a dangerous complication, with bacteria bursting into your bloodstream and infecting your entire body. If you feel this sensation, go straight to the ER.
Usually with appendicitis, when pressing down on your stomach it doesn't hurt as much as when you let go quickly. Another test is where you use the muscle underlying the gall bladder: Bring your knee to your head and have someone push down with resistance. If that hurts, that's a sign of an irritated appendix, which would need to be evaluated further.
