What Causes Severe Pain Under The Sternum And Inflammation In The Pancreas?
What are the symptoms of pancreatitis? I took my husband to the ER recently. Severe stomach pains just under his sternum. They said his pancreas was inflamed. He is experiencing the same symptoms now. About an hour ago he felt weak and something like he does if he hasn t eaten. What might cause the pancreas to become inflamed?
