10 Acute Pancreatitis Symptoms

Symptom #7: Upper Abdomen Pain
The specific location of pain can often help medical professionals come to an initial diagnosis or at least help them to narrow down the possibilities. In being able to narrow options down, they can then perform tests or compare with other symptoms to try and pinpoint exactly what the problem is.
The pancreas is an organ that is around 6 inches in length and is found just beneath the liver. Because of its location, you can expect pancreatitis to result in pain in the upper abdomen area of the body. Remember that giving doctors as much information as possible can help them find out what the problem is.
