Pancreatitis symptoms are characterized by severe pain in the middle of the abdomen that occurs secondary to inflammation of the pancreas.

People often describe the pain as a deep pain that radiates to the back. Pancreatitis symptoms include nausea and vomiting.


Symptoms of pancreatitis are generally made worse with eating. People can develop fever, jaundice, breathing difficulties, and elevated blood sugar (diabetes).


Pancreatitis can be a life threatening illness.
