What Causes Sudden Weight Loss And Pain Under The Ribcage?
I have a dr appointment this coming Friday for some recent unexplained weight loss that I have noticed. It has accompanied abdominal pain just under my ribs on both sides and through to my back when I eat. Today the pain was increasingly more significant. Should I request an earlier appointment?

Hello,
I think, there is a problem with your pancreas maybe pancreatitis but this needs to be confirmed by amylase and lipase levels and maybe an ultrasound needs to be done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
