Pancreatitis

Inflammation of the pancreas (an organ that produces enzymes that help with digestion, and produces hormones (insulin and glucagon) into the bloodstream that help regulate the way the body processes sugar/glucose). The pancreas is a long, flat gland that is behind the stomach in the upper abdomen.

 Pancreatitis happens when digestive enzymes start digesting the pancreas itself, and it becomes inflamed.

Symptoms
 Abdominal pain, heavy drinking, smoking, back pain, epigastric tenderness, diaphoresis, absent bowel sounds, obesity
