Question 1

is burping a lot right after eating a symptom of pancreatitis?
also have mild burning sensation in upper abdomen/chest after eating. no nausea.

Accepted Answer

Pancreatitis: Not likely pancreatitis. Severe back pain generalized to severe abdominal pain. More likely gastritis and reflux. I do not recommend otc products other than occasional antacid use because they can mask much more serious problems.

Question 2

is headache or migraine a symptom of chronic pancreatitis? i know the other symptoms. is there relation between the two?

Accepted Answer

Not really: Migraines are a separate entity and not related to the pancreatitis.   However, and pain/stress can easily trigger a headache; so, in that sense, it could be related, particularly if your pancreatitis is flaring up a little

Question 3

is migraine or cluster headache a symptom of chronic pancreatitis ?

Accepted Answer

No: migraine and cluster are separte illnesses; however, pancreatitis may cause other headaches.

Question 4

very mild stomach discomfort just under left side of ribs for more than a week. can this be pancreatitis? the discomfort doesn't get worse and its my only symptom. i keep pressing the area so perhaps i'm just catastrophizing. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

: Hi:
Typically the pain from pancreatitis is more in the middle and radiates to the back as its classic symptom.  Your left sided mild pain is less likely pancreatitis, but if it's still not better, you should see a doctor about it to make you feel better.

Question 5

is bloating a common symptom of chronic pancreatitis? or other common causes? i drink 4-5 sodas a day and eat 3-4 times day. my tummy gets bloated. no pain or nausea. i googled 'bloating' cp appeared/

Accepted Answer

Bloating: Can be related to many gastrointestinal problems. You should start by eliminating the carbonated drinks in your diet and decrease gas producing foods. There are some over the counter meds such a a gas ex that may help. Talk to your doctor. Take care!

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Pancreatitis: Yes mid- epigastric pain with radiation to back can be present in pancreatitis.

Question 7

what are symptoms of pancreatitis? is loss of appetite and pain some of them?

Accepted Answer

Pancreatitis : Yes, those are some of the symptoms. You need to consult with a pancreas expert and probably get imaging to further assess the severity.

Question 8

would if i know if i had a pancreatic pseudo cyst from pancreatitis? does it cause symptoms?

Accepted Answer

: Pancreatic pseudocyst generally is a complication of severe pancreatitis. From what you have written earlier, you did not have severe pancreatitis and it is highly unlikely that you have a pseudocyst.

Question 9

what are the signs and symptoms of pancreatitis? is flattulance one of them? is low lipase levels one?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Pancreatitis can be acute and chronic. Acute pancreatitis is life threatening, its major symptom is abdominal pain and will typically present with a very high lipase. Chronic pancreatitis will present with bouts of recurrent abdominal pain and may associate flatulence. Pancreatic insufficiency, specifically lipase, may cause flatulence also. Dietary changes along with enzyme replacement may help.

Question 10

i am experiencing acute pain in the front right side above waist and below ribs. is this a sign of pancreatitis?

Accepted Answer

Possibly : Although gallstone problems and r kidney problem/ infection are more typical in that area.  Either way needs urgent doctors assessment to exclude potentially serious conditions and will need an examination and or tests possibly to sort it out.  All the best
