It is unlikely that the normotensive, apyrexial patient with a pulse rate of 80 has a quickly life threatening abdominal issue at the time of assessment, but is no guarantee that such a problem may not create. Pain might change over time, for instance, appendicitis begins with a colicky periumbilical pain because of obstruction. This after that brings about infection and also a localised inflammation of the parietal peritoneum. The history is the most important aid in reaching a diagnosis.
