I was diagnosed with pancreatitis tues. the past hr or so ive been having a sharp burning chest pain. could they be related. my last lipase was at 932?

Indirectly: The question is, why do you have pancreatitis? Your profile states that you don't drink alcohol. The 2nd most common cause is gall stones. Gall bladder disease can cause chest pain (atypically) that mimics heart burn and may be cause. The location suggests esophageal origin. Further eval is indicated.
