HI.
The enzymes are elevated , means there can be a problem with the head of the pancreas. This is as per your symptoms.
You need a MRI for the area to get a proper diagnosis, and also an ERCP ( endoscopy )...
Get a proper diagnosis under the care of a Gastroenterologist.
Till then stop fatty foods.
take plenty of oral fluids if tolerated.
If not possible to take orally, you may need an admission and further management.
