What Causes Severe Lower Abdomen Pain, Productive Cough And Anorexia Along With Headache?

My bowel sounds are normoactive but I am very weak and I have a dog that I have to take for walks. It is becoming increasingly difficult due to weakness, exhaustion, and shortness of breath with exertion.
Pancreatitis is highly probable especially on the medication HCTZ/ACE-I
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HCM: Please note that the color of your stools and gnawing abdominal pain are in themselves specifically concerning for pancreatitis on their own as you have feared, next the medication HCTZ/Lisinopril has been associated with cases of pancreatitis, another is do you have high triglycerides as this puts you at an increased risk, notably those who have ever had gall bladder disease (some may argue liver disease) will inevitably be more prone to pancreatitis, (alcohol which you don't drink is another culprit), as you can see, we are surrounded by many etiologies and causes of pancreatitis, please go seek medical advise and workup as you do not want to develop a pseudocyts and upto rapture do to non treatment. I hope this helps. Good luck.


There is no "close discussion" or "review doctor" buttons anywhere that I can see. However, I was satisfied with the answer I obtained from Dr. Kwasa and will seek further medical attention.
I am glad that we have some headway.

Thank you for your feedback and I wish you good health.
