Avatar f tn But yesterday I had a onset of severe pain to my upper abdoman in the middle. 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.
Avatar m tn s fine for weeks, other times he has medium pain for days/weeks, other times his pain is so severe that all he can do is lying on the floor in so much pain. He has specific was of sitting and lying, to relief the pain slightly. He also has issues with his stomach. He tends to get an upset stomach easily and sometimes bleeds when going to the toilet. In late 2010 he had such a severe attack of internal chest pain/back pain that he collapsed and started throwing up.
Avatar f tn 3 weeks on life support followed by two more operations for necrosis of colon due to adhesions from gynaecological surgery many years ago. I now have upper stomach pain, severe back pain at same level, fever, headaches and itching. Could this be pancreatitis?
Avatar n tn Doctor says it could be Pancreatitis but my symptoms are not exactly of Pancreatitis, although pain is severe and it radiates to back but eating (although I eat very little) doesnt particularly increases the pain. Pain moves around upper middle and upper left stomach. It is unbearable and has disabled me I cant do anything and from the past 5 months I am bed ridden. Anybody has any idea what it is? could it be pancreatitis?
677892 tn?1226342769 I could have written your post myself. I suffer from the SAME exact thing. EXCEPT that I have my gallbladder. I have not had the battery of tests that you have had though and no one can tell me what is wrong. My pain isn't severe but it is constant and more like pressure. After I eat, I feel dizzy and weak...and I have been running a fever lately.
Avatar n tn org/pancreas/symptoms-pancreatitis Any time you have new and severe pain like this, it should be checked out promptly. It might not be as serious as pancreatitis, but he needs to be examined.
936335 tn?1246412231 I have pain in about ten minutes after I eat that causes severe pain. I keep a food journal to try to avoid different foods that causes the trigger. But the pain is so severe that is debilates me for the remainder of the day and causes severe back pain on the left side of my back near my spine. If I take whatever stomach medicine I am trying at the time, my enzymes to break the food down, and pain medicine then I can usually function pretty well without going into that severe pain.
Avatar n tn My last two blood tests have been normal, but I have read that one may still have mild pancreatitis with normal enzyme levels. The gastro thinks that since my first pancreatitis was so severe there may be some scarring which has led to an enzyme deficiency. He prescribed digestive enzymes which I have been taking for a month and a half with every meal. At first this seemed to help but lately seems to increase the burning sensation.
Avatar n tn another unusual symptom for Chronic Pancreatitis is that eating actually eases my pain for hours after I eat. When my pain is at it's worse I usually look for something to eat.
455835 tn?1206015381 My son has been experiencing severe and chronic stomach pain since April 2007. The first bout put him in the hospital and was diagnosed as pancreatitis. Subsequent trips to ER and hospital admissions have failed to result in comprehensive diagnosis. Endoscopic exams showed severe inflammation in duodenum, proton pump inhibitors prescribed...no help. He continues to suffer. He has seen three GI docs and they all give up on him.

Avatar m tn My boxer was hospitalized today with severe pancreatitis. Her pancreatic enzymes are off the charts, it is so severe. This was an acute case and she hasn't had it before. She absolutely NEVER eats anything othet than her commercial dog kibble, especially due to multiple food allergies. She's my service dog (in training) so she is always with us, so we know she didn't eat something she shouldn't have. The vet has no idea what could make her so critically ill.

Avatar n tn I am having severe left shoulder pain. It is so bad that I cry daily and with 4 children which I had natural, I feel that I have a high tolerance to pain. My left arm and my neck up to the jawbone goes numb at times. The shoulder pain never goes away. I keep ice on it a lot plus take pain medicine and a muscle relaxer but nothing helps. I have tried patches, creams, massage, etc. A little History: I have not done anything to hurt it.
Avatar f tn I am a 24yr old female who has been experiencing severe epigastric pain for the last 4months. It started with some very uncomfortable pain right in the middle of my chest, between my breasts on the sternum. I went to my family doctor who thought two things...GERD or gallstones since i have a family history. I had an ultrasound sound which in deed some a gallstone. So in July, I had my gallbladder taken out only to feel worse.
Avatar f tn If you have pain under your right rib then there could be a liver infection, pancreatitis, or a gall bladder problem. Get a liver function test, ultrasound or CT of abdomen, and pancreatic enzymes. It can also be due to acidity and duodenal ulcer. Take a late night snack. Raise head end of bed. Take Omeprazole empty stomach in morning and an antacid gel at bedtime. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, fuzzy drinks and spicy food. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!
Avatar f tn I took two Solpadol pills and within half an hour of taken them i was rushed into hospital with severe stomach pain. The doctors ran test and i was told it was pancreatitis. I was checked for Gal stones, was clear. They said they found no cause, and it was put down to alcohol misuse. I am not a heavy drinker. Could the Solpadol have caused this? I read in the leaflet one of the severe side affects is pancreatitis.
Avatar f tn Due to excessive alcohol consumption, I have been hospitalized with pancreatitis 3 times. They were all very severe attacks. I've been sober since the last hospitalization, over a year ago. I have constant pain in my back and under my rib cage, where my pancreas is located. My doctor says it should eventually stop hurting but it doesn't seem to be improving. My gallbladder has been removed, my blood work is normal and scans of my pancreas show nothing.
Avatar f tn Hiatal hernia with gastric ulcer can also cause chest pain radiating to back. It could also be chronic pancreatitis. Get your serum calcium and lipid profile done to see if high calcium and lipids are a cause of pancreatitis. For more information please refer: http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/pancreatitis/ Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar m tn "Pancreatitis In addition to causing stomach irritation (gastritis), drinking can inflame the pancreas. Chronic pancreatitis interferes with the digestive process, causing severe abdominal pain and persistent diarrhea --and "it's not fixable," Saitz says. Some cases of chronic pancreatitis are triggered by gallstones, but up to 60% stem from alcohol consumption." (webmd.com) I think you need to see your doctor about this.
