pancreatitis symptoms what is it

My boyfriend is complaining of these symptoms: Swollen kidneys (he thinks), nausea, vomiting, hot and cold flashes, and excessive sweating. He told me it feels like his stomach is getting bigger and he isn't sure if it is due to the water he is drinking. He hasn't really eaten in days. He has painful stomach cramp type feelings. He cannot lay down because it is too painful. If he lays a certain way (certain side) he throws up.

I am sc ared because I am not myself and the pain and symptoms I have cannot be normal! What should I do????

Okay, I was wondering because a friend of mine has shown symptoms of hyperthyroidism, after I had done some research, and I plan on urging them to get this checked out. I also know that this person's father has pancreatitis. I read that thyroid disorders can be hereditary. Do you think that this has anything to do with the possible hyperthyroidism, the association between pancreatitis and thyroid disorders? I can't find much about it. And are thyroid disorders linked with diabetes?

Stool is normal. Nothing strange or yellow. urine is normal. no cloudiness or weird color. No nausea or vomiting. No Fever, No rapid pulse No abdominal tenderness Pain is pretty specific to the lower left abdomen. Maybe someone can tell me what I should look out for if I need to visit the ER? Pancreatitis? Cancer? Gall bladder? Kidney?

Hello, I am a 22 year old female who is for the most part healthy. I don't smoke or drink and i am only about 10 lbs overweight. I have been suffering with bouts of abdominal pain and nausea off and on for the last year. It seems to come and go, I will be fine and then one month for about a week I will have a cramping like pain that comes and goes sometimes the pain comes on more severe and the whole time i just feel tired and nauseated.

Is it in the middle of your chest, below your breasts? If so, have you had your gallbladder looked at? You might have gallstones which can cause quite a bit of pain.

I would agree that the vet can help find out what is going on with your pet whether it be a blockage, pancreatitis, or any other symptoms. Especially since she is usually happy to eat and not eating well is a change for her. I know for my dog, that is the best clue that he is sick...since he can't talk to tell me that he's not feeling well. Best wishes for you and your dog!

I have seen countless drs and finally I saw one of the best pancreas drs nationwide, and he suggested it could be minimal change recurrent mild attacks. The only other test Ive had is a hida scan for the gb and it was abnormal, but not the cause of the pain. Anyone out there with insight?

My chocolate lab "Skip" is about 10 years old and developed pancreatitis for the first time. We took him to the doctor he never vomited or diahrea until the day after he got to the vets office. His amalyse was high like 8000 and his glucose and white blood count low but we got an ultrasound to make sure not cancer. He started to show improvements with the IV and antibiotic. Now a week later he is starting to decline and the vet has tried everything.

pancreatitis is a issue that usualy reoccurs,becomes chronic and makes what time you have left MISERABLE!!

m having an attack for the last 2 days. When my amalsye level is up it makes me vomit alot. It has lasted for 2 weeks before. But if I think its up I will just drink powerade and water for a day or two. Then I run my soup thru the blender The less the stomach has to work to break down fat or anything for that matter is best. Sometimes I end up at the E.R. when its really flared with the crohn's flared up too. I worry that these attacks will cause problems later.

How is the procedure done? I have heard it can be done by endoscopy and surgically. I didn't know enough about what he was going to do to ask questions and he mentioned several procedures; then I saw on the report that he sent to my PCP that he was going to do the minor ampulla sphincterotomy. He told me if I do get pancreatitis that I will have to go into the hospital. What symptoms were you having. Sorry for so many questions but I haven't run across anyone who has had this.

My doctor still thinks I have gallbladder disease and ordered a HITA scan done. I have no symptoms of gallbladder problems, but the scan from what I could see and from comments by the technician indicated almost no contraction, a large gallbladder, and from what I could see no emptying of the gallbladder. I don't have the actual results yet, but was surprised because of lack of symptoms. Any thoughts? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.

What are the symptoms of pancreatitis? A gastroenterologist asked me if I ever had it, and I asked him, "How would I know?" I don't think he was amused.

My mom had her's out many years ago...she didn't gain an ounce. She DID gain weight many years later though...after she had her hysterectomy.

Last week, I awoke with abdominal pain and what I recognized felt like pancreatitis and went for lab work. ALT, AST, Alkaline Phosphate all elevated and lipase. Amlyase normal. GI says he's confused as the stent should've solved this problem. He has spoken to me about a sphincterotemy, however, he also said that if that was the issue, the stent should've resolved that.

Over the course of a few months, the symptoms do not seem to be worsening, which is good, but also not getting better. If it is chronic pancreatitis, will it by definition worsen over the months or years or can it stay stable if I stay on a healthy diet, avoid alcohol, etc.??? Any advice appreciated. I do realize that I likely need to get back to the GP, but I'm most curious as to whether chronic pancreatitis ALWAYS worsens no matter what.
