Pancreatitis

[lees6655]

Has anyone ever suffered with pancreatitis im starting to think that I have it and starting to worrie. Just wanted to know if anyone on here has had it and how they felt and symptoms they had .

It is quite hard to diagnose so why do you think you specifically have it?

Hi my symptoms are back pain left side under rib feeling nauseous acid reflux feeling gerally unwell and getting a lot of gas .

I’ve had those symptoms and for me it’s always gastritis. Pancreatitis is exceptionally painful as I understand it?

Hi thanks for your reply Button1 I have had gastritis before so could be but don't remember how I felt when I had it .

[Button1]

If I feel those particular things it signals gastritis for me. Pancreatitis is very painful and often accompanied by a fever and sickness. I think you’re fine and just need to wait this out- there are sooo many stomach bugs around at the moment and anxiety makes everything 💯 worse x

Pancreatitis is not subtle and you'd be in absolute agony, so nope, definitely not that.

My husband had Pancreatitis back in 2017. We had to call an ambulance because he was vomiting due to the amount of pain he was in. He was sweating and doubled over, never seen anyone in pain like that in my life. They gave him morphine in my house just to get him up out of bed. Basically his pancreas was so inflamed it was like internal burning, he was on 2 IV antibiotics and spent a week in hospital. Thankfully his was caused by a blocked gall stone so they whipped out his gallbladder and he's be absolutely fine ever since.
He was also starting to turn yellow due to the blockage - so yeah I reckon maybe a gall stone or gastritis.

Take care! x
