How the pancreas hurts: symptoms of diseases

The role of the pancreas is one of the main in the whole digestive process. It produces enzymes that help digest nutrients in the intestines, and hormones that regulate blood sugar levels. Therefore, any failure in the work of this body can seriously undermine health.

But it's not a fact that after every overeating of salt and an overabundance of alcoholic drinks the day before, the pancreas will show obvious signs of a disruption in work. Quite the opposite: the human body has a certain level of resistance, so it can for some time independently regulate the failures and do not show them. But only as long as the restoration resources do not run out. Therefore, you need to monitor the work of your body and promptly answer the question: "Why does something hurt me?".

Symptoms

Pain in this organ is very difficult to confuse with something else. This is due to the fact that they are quite bright and characteristic.

Therefore, the following symptoms will help to determine them:

1. Patients may have an appetite long before the attack.
2. The main symptom is pronounced pain in the hypochondrium. After the occurrence, they can become girdling, so there is a feeling that gives away everywhere.
3. Pain is almost impossible to remove spasmolytics. The only option is to curl up or curl: only in this case it becomes slightly easier. Sometimes this way you can almost get rid of the pain, but only as long as the person is in that position.
4. In addition, there are other characteristic symptoms - vomiting or nausea. In this case, the more painful the sensation becomes, the more vomitive reflex appears.
5. Some people may have a physical feeling that the pancreas has increased: as if something is pressing down on the ribs from below and prevents breathing.

But such symptoms appear after serious abnormalities in the pancreas. In the early stages of this disease, nothing can hurt at all, but vomiting will be present. It can occur at different times, but mostly in the morning or during a meal. The sensation may seem that the stomach seems to twist from the inside, and then there are sudden vomiting.

What should I do?

Manifestation of any obvious symptoms of pain in the pancreas should alarm the patient, because if you do not take any measures, then in addition to pancreatitis you can earn diabetes. If it is difficult for you to determine why these or those symptoms have appeared, then in any case it is necessary to call a doctor. And while you expect it, you can do the following:

• Initially, it is necessary to exclude the possibility of exacerbation of osteochondrosis, since the symptoms are slightly similar. To do this, you need to feel the spine itself for the presence of painful sensations. But this variant of the "survey" is only true for those who do not in principle suffer from osteochondrosis. This is due to the fact that people suffering from severe form of this disease, can get used and hardly feel pain.
• If you suspect a breakdown in the pancreas, you must definitely exclude any meal for at least a day to allow the body to unload and stop producing enzymes.
• Give the patient more alkaline drink( mineral water or plain water with the addition of a small amount of soda).Why alkaline? In order to reduce excessive acidity.
• To avoid the occurrence of internal edema, it is necessary to attach to the place where the cold warmer hurts( the area around the navel).
• As an easing of pain can become antispasmodics in the form of injections, since in the form of tablets they are in this case almost useless. All the rest, medication can be prescribed only by a specialist.

If you carefully treat your body, you can avoid many unpleasant consequences. It is necessary to monitor the diet so that the pancreas works properly. And if you have any unpleasant signals about a failure urgently, go to the doctor and do not try to persuade yourself, which, they say, will be painful and will pass.
