Can you die from a burst appendix?

If you have any pain that you suspect may be worse than just a simple tummy upset, you should be seeking medical help especially if you think it may be appendicitis. Rupture of the appendix can be life-threatening and appendicitis can rapidly progress to this in a few hours. Pain is usually widespread at this stage. Earlier pain is generalized or may be in the lower right abdomen. Don't mess with this problem or self-diagnose. See a doctor.
