Question 1

what are the symptoms of chronic pancreatitis?

Accepted Answer

Pain: Abdominal pain is usually the most prominent symptom, which is usually worst 30-60 minutes after eating a meal.  Other symptoms include loss of appetite, weight loss, and oily diarrhea.

Question 2

idiopathic recurrent acute mild chronic pancreatitis cure ?

Accepted Answer

No: I am glad you are not drinking alcohol.  Stick to a anti-inflammatory diet that is low glycemic.  Stay clear of medications like ACE inhibitors, thiazide diuretics, Effexor, (venlafaxine) Steroids.  Get exercise.

Question 3

question about pancreas: what is the difference between pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis don't theys have painfull symptoms? what i heard

Accepted Answer

Pancreatitis: is inflammation of the pancreas and can be acute (sudden) or chronic (long lasting). Both can be painful and associated with vomiting and digestive problems. The most common cause of acute pancreatitis is disease of the biliary tree such as gallstones or infection. Alcohol use is also associated with pancreatitis. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Question 4

what is the difference between the symptoms of gerd and the symptoms for chronic pancreatitis. ?

Accepted Answer

GERD/Pancreatitis: Between the 2 diseases, sometimes the symptoms can be similar.  Gerd would have frequent acid reflux, heartburns, epigastric discomfort, chest pain, difficulty swallowing.  Chronic pancreatitis: epigastric/luq pain, radiates toward the back, especially after fatty meal.  Very easy to be evaluated to differentiate between the 2, such as trial of antireflux meds, egd, abdominal x ray (or ct), past hx.

Question 5

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 6

when is it ok 2go 2 er for attack from idiopathic chronic pancreatitis dx?3yrs enzymes just mild high w.attack, so how2get er 2not overlook symptms?:(

Accepted Answer

Depends on the pain.: Your decision as to whether to go to the emergency room will depend on the severity of your pain. If it is not something you can handle at home with whatever paid method your previous doctors have worked out with you, then you should go to the emergency room. If you do not already have a pain relief method worked out with your doctor, then you should go see him/her to work on this. Good luck.

Question 7

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 8

mid 20s, amylase 156 and lipase 152, a few years of recurrent diarrea. no upper abdominal pain. mildly low b12. no celiac or ibd. never drank. is this concerning for chronic pancreatitis or would this be very unlikely given age/symptoms??

Accepted Answer

: It isn't possible to speculate with this little information. Keep working with your doctor(s). Good luck.

Question 9

chances of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis to vanish by taking medication from 2 months. as now only pain occurs rarely no vomiting and othr symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Leave but return: Zee,

Chronic pancreatitis is a relapsing, remitting disease. It will go away, then return. How often you have flare ups depends on several factors: luck, how much alcohol you use, and what kind of foods you eat. Stick to low protein foods, NO alcohol, and hopefully your relapses will be few and far between. If you feel your pancreatitis is acting up, see your doctor. Hope this helps!

Question 10

i am hospitalized with mild chronic pancreatitis. why am i having dizzy spells and tied where i feel about to faint? will toradol cause fainting spels

Accepted Answer

You may: have a low albumin..a protein which allows blood vessels to retain the correct VOLUME of blood to pump to your head/brain. This may be due to malabsorbtion secondary to your pancreas problem!

Toradol by itself is unlikely to do this!
Suggest you consult with a cardiologist if your PCP (Primary Care Provider) is puzzled by your problem!
A "Tilt Table Test" might be useful!
Hope this helps!
