Causes severe epigastric pain; associated with prolonged storage of bile in the gallbladder.

Extreme pain in the middle of your torso, also in the back sometimes, especially after eating roughage or fatty food.

There are some gallstones that don't cause any pain. This is called silent gallstone. Usually not really a threat and are left their if they are not causing pain. If you are having pain, contact your family doctor and she/he will recomend getting an ultrasound. Ultrasounds are the only way to find out if you have gallstones.

Pancreatitis is characterized by intense pain in the abdomen. Almost everybody with acute pancreatitis experiences pain.

  • The pain may come on suddenly or build up gradually. If the pain begins suddenly, it is typically very severe. If the pain builds up gradually, it starts out mild but may become severe.
  • The pain is usually centered in the upper middle or upper left part of the belly (abdomen). The pain may feel as if it radiates through to the back.
  • The pain often begins or worsens after eating.
  • The pain typically lasts a few days to a week.
  • The pain may feel worse when a person lies flat on his or her back.

Besides pain, people may also experience the following;

  • Nausea (Some people do vomit, but vomiting does not relieve the symptoms.)
  • Fever, chills (or both)
  • Swollen abdomen which is tender to the touch
  • Rapid heartbeat

Alcohol abuse and gallstones are the two main causes of pancreatitis, accounting for 80%-90% of all cases. Pancreatitis can occur after taking certain medications or surgeries and medical procedures such as an ERCP.

In about 15% of cases of acute pancreatitis and 40% of cases of chronic pancreatitis, the cause is never known.

There are several ways, but of course, a doctor is the final judge. If you have pain in the lower right part of you belly, below where your underwear elastic band is . . . or even sometimes on the left side, that could be appendicitis.

If you also have pain in your chest, that could be appendicitis.

If you are running a fever with the pain, that could be appendicitis.

If someone else can smell rotten apples on your breath, that could mean appendicitis.

If you press in with your fingers deeply into the lower right part of you belly, and suddenly yank your fingers up and away, and it hurts, then it is likely that you have appendicitis.

If you experience the belly pain, the fever, and the rebound pain (press and yank away fingers), you should see a medical person fairly soon.

A simple blood test can often times determine whether or not an individual has pancreatitis. One who is suffering from the condition will have abnormal enzyme levels and could possibly be producing irregular amounts of glucose.
