Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have severe pain in the pancreas area, it feels a lot like a gallbladder attack. I had my gallbladder removed twenty years ago. I do not have any nausea or vomiting going on, could this still a sign of pancreatitis? I also seem to be belching a lot. Juli,
There can be various clinical conditions which can present with pain at pancreas area apart from pancreas issues as duodenal ulcer or inflammation, biliary tract issue as bile duct or else, stomach problems or other intestine pathologies.
I would recommend a physical examination with basic parameters evaluation of lab and ultrasound to clarify the issue precisely.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
