ATTENTION NURSES!! pancreatitis??

Question

I'm almost 100% that I have it.. tmi but I totally thought that for a while I just felt constipated so I'd take laxatives or whatever to help relieve the discomfort but I realized even after me going to the restroom, the pain was still there in my upper belly... and being the google symptom maniac that I Am, I did some research and I'm almost certain that it's what I have. Anytime I eat, I feel immediately constipated. It hurts. It's made me sort of lose my appetite because although I FEEL hungry, eating a tiny amount of food triggers the organ immediately below my sternum to feel super uncomfortable. Maybe I can just not eat a few days?? Any nurses on here? Any advice?? I can't go to the Gastroenterologist until the week after next, so is there anything to relieve the pain til then?? 😩😩

Answer

Are you sure it's not your gallbladder? I mean I would get checked before then. 
And google really isn't helpful. Lol

Answer

May just be acid reflux. Have you tried taking an over the counter acid reducer? You may also want to try taking some fiber supplement and make sure your hydrated; chronic constipation can cause nausea and acid reflux as the body is not properly evacuating waste aka pooping. 
I work with a gastroenterologist, we see this a lot.

Answer

I'm a nurse and currently getting my masters. I agree with gallbladder. Does it happen with certain foods or all foods? What does the pain feel like? Does it radiate anywhere else?

Answer

Lmfao don't reply on Doctor Google please, I'm like 100% sure you don't just because you got info from Doc. See a professional!
