A member asked:
27 male worried about pancreatic cancer, upper ab discomfort under left ribs, upper/mid back pain, indigestion. should i be worried? what are chances?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wait to worry: Pancreatic Cancer typically affects people over the age of 50 years, so it is unlikely to be a cause of your symptoms at your age.. Your symptoms may be all due to Acid reflux causing indigestion. You should try taking antacids of one kind or another. You may use one of: Maalox, Zantac, Pepecid or prilosec and try it for one week. if the symptoms go away, then the likely cause is Acid reflux(GERD)
