pancreatitis pain nausea

Hello, I have been sick since Friday. I'm having lots of pain, vomiting, nausea and diarrhea but lately my lipase and amylase levels have been low. The doctor said my pancreas is sluggish and work like it should and this is why my blood levels are normal. Can anyone tell me if exocrine pancreatic insufficiency affects lipase and amylase levels during a pancreatitis flare up? Also has anyone ever had normal blood levels with pancreatitis?

PAIN IN MIDDLE OF CHEST WHERE RIBS CONNECT WITH DIARREHEA AND FEVER CAN'T EAT GOES RIGHT THROUGH HIM AND FEELS NAUSEA

That came with the shakes, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea and clammy feeling. This pain was definately 10/10 the only way to describe it was it was like contractions. I could hardly stand at one point and felt like I would pass out. I was rushed to A&E. They took a few tests. They all came back normal, except for my liver function which came back slightly abnormal. These pains lasted for about 45 minutes, but had 2 smaller attacks at the hospital.

Can a person develop chronic pancreatitis after having acute pancreatitis that resulted from having an ERCP? I have developed abdominal pain that radiates to my side and back that is relieved when I lean forward and worsens when I lean back. No nausea or vomiting, no fever. Should I follow up with my doctor? I had the acute pancreatitis around 2004. Thanks for your response.

This has been very aggravating, because for 4 months now I continue to experience upper abdominal pain and sometimes nausea all day long. My Gastroenterologist has just scheduled me to have a "gastric emptying" test, thinking that slow stomach emptying might be the cause of my nausea.

would anything other then pancreatitis cause epigastric pain that radiates to the back?,,,that comes and goes. i get it,but i dont get the throwing up,or the hospital visits i hear about from pancreatitis. i have not lost weight,dont throw up,the pain feels like a cramp in my diahpram,goes into back,,ive had amalyes/lipase checked,2 ct scans with barrium and iodine contrast,and they dont see anything,,,no stones,enlargments,hernia,nothingwhat elce could this be? would spyincter of oddi do this?

re doing everything right for that condition by keeping to a low-fat diet and treating the nausea. I would also suggest that you ask your vet about pain medication because pancreatitis is incredibly painful. A stronger nausea medication like reglan or phenergan may be a good call as well.

I have been having on and off nausea but no vomiting. I had pain in my upper right rib area and sometimes in my back. It went away. They tested me for h pylori and it was negative. Also a ultrasound of the upper abdomen showed nothing, no stones. What can this be?

t know how she got it. Ever since the pancreatitis she has been in pain just about every day (and missing quite a bit of school). It doesn't seem to make a difference as to the types of food she eats. She has tried going without milk for 4-5 days and without wheat for about a week. She was tested for food allergies also, which came back negative. The most pain she has is in her abdomen area, running horizontally from side to side and it is tender to press on.

I am currently having a lot of abdominal pain. Mainly in the upper left, and my lower right sides. The pain in both of these areas aren't constant, but appear to be sticking around more often in the last week. I have no gallbladder, so that isn't the issue. I have had pancreatitis (unknown cause) twice, but he last time was 11 years ago. It doesn't feel like pancreatitis as when I had that I lost a lot of weight, and I haven't lost any weight now.

Thanks for the response. The only meds I take are occasional Tylenol or ibuprofen, but not too often. I forgot to mention that I also experience like a twitching or spasm on the same time as discomfort or pain. When the twitching happens I can feel it externally when I touch the area. I've never had the severe pain or nausea/vomiting, and no swelling or pain to the touch. I've got a pre-scheduled appointment with a gp on Wednesday. Are there any specific questions I should ask?

The thing that is hard with it is, which you have experienced, your scans can look normal and blood tests also and you still have pain,nausea, fatigue and the whole pancreatitis everything! The ER will not do anything about this because nothing is showing up on any of your tests and according to the its not an "emergency" so get to a GI fast! chronic pancreatitis is hard to diagnose so hang in there!

When I travel in a car/bus – especially when the vehicle jolts to a halt – the throbbing pain, cold sweats and nausea become worse. The nausea also comes on when I’ve eaten even a small meal (I primarily eat snacks such as soups and a piece of bread, or yoghurts).

I have just recently had my gallbladder removed and am struggling eating without pain afterward in the gallbladder region. I also still have nausea and pain in my right side under my rib cage. It is hard to even lean on or sleep on that side. I don't want to jump the gun, but I have been sick for several years now and thought the surgery would end it. Please let me know if anyone has any advice to offer me as I have four young children and just want to get better. Thank you so much!

If everything looks ok then why am I having the pain and nausea again? They never figured out why I got the pancreatitis or the episodes I have had since either. Even with the tests can the gallbladder even though its still working be causing the pain and nausea? Also a little history I went to the ER twice before that about 6 years ago on the worse pain I have had in my life much worse than the pancreatitis pain but it only lasted a couple hours and no one even tested my blood.

Great so then I was diagnosed with sphincter of oddie dysfunction. They fixed that problem. After that I got pancreatitis. After all of that, the pain finally subsided. But I still continued to be nauseated. What is wrong with me? All of my tests come back negative. I am seriously going crazy. I am on zofran and have been on fenergan to help with the nausea, but its not working anymore. Can somebody please help me? I want to go on with my life!!!

I HAVE BEEN SENT HOME WITH PAIN MEDS 3 DIFFERENT KINDS WHEN MY STOMACH PAIN COME ON THERE IS NOT MUCH I CAN DO THE ONLY THING THAT SEEM TO CALM MY PAIN DOWN IS I.V. MEDS AT THE ER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I HAVE PANCREATITIS . MY PHYSICIANS(GASTRIC) HAS TRIED JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING POSSIBLE. I AM AT MY WITS END. THIS IS NOT HOW I INTENDED TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE IN PAIN, NAUSEATED AND VOMITING. IS THERE ANYTHING OR SUGGESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE IN MIND.

I am a 27 year old female, 5'6", 170lbs and falling. At 16, I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. At 25, I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy. They doctors found gastritis and a small hiatal hernia. I also had genetic bloodwork tests performed and I carry both high risk gene patterns for Celiac disease. I stay away from gluten as much as possible. In October of 2008, I started having attacks in my upper right abdominal quadrant.

I have had a colonoscopy / endoscopy and ultrasound (did find 3 cyst on left ovary and 2 golf ball size on right), BUT no explanation or solution to severe pain in my right side. It is in the front and back of my body and to the point I cannot lay on my right side (which I usually sleep on) and is making me miserable. IF I go to the restroom it intensifies for a period and then just eases back into PRESSURE that makes me have nausea.

However, last year I began to develop symptoms of pain in the center and left quadrant of my upper abdomen, nausea, mild weight loss. I would feel sick if I ate and sick if I didn't. I cut back to a very limited diet of fresh cooked foods, mainly poultry and vegetables, fruit and flat breads. I have improved symptom-wise except when under stress. However, my Amylase continues to be elevated and I am concerned, as is my doctor, about chronic pancreatitis leading to pancreatic cancer.

So, I had the classic sx of nausea vomiting post meals RUQ pain, shoulder pain/scapula pain that started March of 09, after a numerous amount of test and 1-2 episode of pancreatitis I was suggested to have my Gallbladder remove. Which was done Sep 09. I continued with my symptoms despite the cholectomy. I was sent to a specialist that performed a an ERCP and manometry and stated that my pressures were high. My muscle was extremly tight so he cut it and placed a temporary stent in my pancrease.

I have trouble sitting up for more than 30min at a time! Because of pain and nausea, I even have trouble walking upright! If you have CP taking out the gal bladder, doesnt cure your CP......why cant you sit up, is it because of pain also?

I have been very stressed so I wasn’t sure if I could have aggravated gallbladder, caused ulcer or could be pancreatitis. Normal stools and no nausea however.

Gastric Bypass surgery in 2014 and Gallbladder removal in 1990 In January, I went to the ER for abdominal pain, nausea and slight fever. Liver enzymes were highly elevated. Normal lipase/amylase and ultrasound and X-rays came back normal. Only thing noted was a 10mm calcification on right hepatic. Went to GI who ordered MRCP and that came back with 'possible' common bile duct obstruction. During the time I waited for ERCP double balloon, my liver enzymes went back up.
