The most common symptom of acute pancreatitis is pain. 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.
  • The pain may feel worse when a person lies flat on his or her back.

People with acute pancreatitis usually feel very sick. Besides pain, people may have other symptoms.

  • Nausea (Some people do vomit, but vomiting does not relieve the symptoms.)
  • Fever, chills, or both
  • Swollen (distended) abdomen which is tender to the touch
  • Rapid heartbeat (A rapid heartbeat may be due to the pain and fever, or it may be a compensation if a person is bleeding internally.)

Pancreatic cancer is generally symptomless until it has grown out of the pancreas and spread to other areas. It can cause symptoms such as weight loss, jaundice, bloating, nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and malaise.

Elevated blood sugars, weight loss, jaundice (yellowing of eyes and skin) malice, and loss of appetite. Although these can be syptoms for many other things, if you think you have these issues contact your physician for a check up.

The problem with pancreatic cancer is that the symptoms normally aren't noticeable until the disease has reached an advanced stage. The symptoms of the disease include yellowing of the skin and eyes, abdominal pain in the upper abdomen that may radiate to the back, itchy skin, unintended weight loss and vomiting.

With pancreas cancer, the symptoms are much the same as for any cancer. Your body will start to shrink, getting smaller as you loose weight and loose your appetite. You must keep in touch with your doctor through this, and plan for treatment.

Pancreatic cancer symptoms typically do not emerge until the cancer is advanced and difficult to treat. Symptoms depend on the location of the cancer. If the cancer is at the top of the pancreas, symptoms might include weight loss, jaundice, abdominal pain and fat in the stool. Cancer in the body or end of the pancreas can cause weight loss and abdominal pain. Bloating, nausea and diarrhea can also occur regardless of the cancer's location.
