The pain was described as severe and was located in the left lower quadrant without radiation. It improved with assuming the supine position and was exacerbated by movement. On the day of presentation, he developed nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. He was traveling in Peru when the pain began and thought it was related to something he ate, so he did not initially seek medical attention. Upon returning to the United States, he sought evaluation as his symptoms escalated. He had no known chronic medical problems and was not taking any prescription medications.en-USPublisher PolicyAbdominal PainAltitudeHumansArticle
