Customer question:
What are the symptoms of inflammation of the pancreas? Question from an anonymous forum customer
Pharmacist's answer:
In chronic pancreatitis, digestive enzymes that generally travel inside the pancreas and empty into the upper intestine become trapped in the pancreas. This causes pain and scarring. In addition, the trapped enzymes slowly cause severe damage to your pancreas.
Early symptoms are similar to acute pancreatitis. Symptoms are intermittent and include:
- pain in the upper abdomen that spreads to the back
- abdominal pain that gets worse when you eat or drink alcohol
- severe abdominal pain that may be constant or recurring
- diarrhea or greasy stools
- nausea and vomiting
- loss of body weight
Acute pancreatitis is a condition in which the pancreas becomes inflamed in a short time. Most people with acute pancreatitis feel better after about a week and have no more problems. But some people with severe acute pancreatitis can develop serious complications.
Signs and symptoms of acute pancreatitis include:
- pain in the upper abdomen
- abdominal pain radiating to the back
- tenderness when touching the abdomen
- fever
- rapid heartbeat
- nausea
- vomiting
