What are the early symptoms of pancreatitis?

After the onset of pancreatitis, patients may have persistent abdominal distension and pain in the early stages, and may even show symptoms of nausea and vomiting. In more severe cases, they may also suffer from weight loss, and patients may also experience diarrhea and abdominal distension. Therefore, this disease is very serious and requires effective treatment early on.

The symptoms of acute pancreatitis should be divided into early symptoms and late symptoms. The early symptoms are often after overeating and drinking a lot of alcohol, and upper abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting will appear within a few hours. The late symptoms are that the pain gradually worsens and persists without relief, and even fever, shock and other manifestations may occur. The symptoms of chronic pancreatitis are often not obvious in the early stages. As the disease progresses, persistent abdominal pain will occur in the later stages.

There may even be back pain, weight loss, diarrhea and diabetes. The early symptoms of acute pancreatitis are often upper abdominal pain, bloating, nausea and vomiting after overeating or drinking a lot of alcohol. If the symptoms do not improve after several hours of observation, it is recommended that you go to the hospital as soon as possible.

As pancreatitis progresses, the abdominal pain may continue to worsen and even radiate to the back. In this case, if it is not controlled in time, shock may occur. As the disease progresses, the patient may experience low blood pressure, irritability, shock, and even symptoms such as respiratory distress and chest tightness.

If not treated in time, it will be life-threatening.
