hello,
thank you for asking this question.
your problem may be related with a diseases calles pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas. It has several causes and symptoms and requires immediate medical attention. The most common symptoms of pancreatitis are severe upper abdominal burning pain radiating to the back, nausea, and vomiting that is worsened with eating.
Diagnosing pancreatitis requires two of the following:
Characteristic abdominal pain
Blood amylase or lipase will be 4-6 times higher than the normal variations, but this will be dependent on the laboratory that is testing the blood.
Abdominal ultrasound is generally performed first, which is advantageous for the diagnosis of the causes of the pancreas, for example, detecting gallstones, diagnosing alcoholic fatty liver (combined with history of alcohol consumption). They are both the main causes of pancreatitis. Abdominal ultrasound also shows an inflamed pancreas clearly. It is convenient, simple, non-invasive, and inexpensive.
Kind regards
