Acute Pancreatitis … Could be wrong diagnosis?

7 months ago I had pretty bad pain, not horrible, could still walk and drive. I thought it was heartburn, went to pharm and got pepcid. It didn't go away in the hour as said by the pharm. The pain wasn't severe, just bad enough to call the dr. to ask how long it takes pepcid to work. Two hours later went to Dr. She felt around, I had bowel signs (which I've read I wouldn't have it if AP), normal blood pressure. She ran a blood test and everything came back normal except amalyse and lipase were quite high. Within 2 days I was feeling normal, but she continued to take blood tests 1 per week, and enzymes were quickly going back to normal. Took 3 weeks to normalize. Again, all blood tests were normal in others except white blood cell count was high (14).

With everything I read, except for the enzymes, this doesn't sound like your typical AP. I eat normal foods, some fatty, and drink occasionally. I haven't had contact with the dr. since. She said don't drink, but when I called her after a week or so she said I could resume normal activities. I just assumed that meant all normal, so I continued drinking in moderation. Again, no problems.

Any advise? Does the levels represent a certainty of pancreatitis? No other tests were performed.

No 'radiating' pain, didn't go to hospital, ate soup and jello for 4 or 5 days, and didn't drink alcohol for a few weeks. Resumed normal feed, and drink wine, but never more than 1-2 on occasion. Could this be a misdiagnosis? I have had no more symptoms whatsoever since then

Maybe you should get a second opinion for safeties sake. My mom had "pains". She died 14 months later from pancreatic cancer. Good luck


how effective is skipping in reducing high blood pressure?

i mean every other day about 150 skip

I guess any cardio exercise will benefit you.


Anxiety causes high blood pressure. Does it work vise versa?

I ask because I am being treated for both aflictions.

There is a mysterious, not fully-understood connection between high BP and anxiety. Both anxiety and BP fluctuation can be caused by disruption or malfunction in the autonomic nervous system. Please read about Dysautonomia by typing it in to your search engine.


was preeclamptic during my pregnancy and still have high blood pressure?

i had my baby 11 days ago and i am still experiencing the symptoms. high blood pressure, headaches, seeing spots. is it normal to still be feeling this way? im tired of seeing doctors and taking medication. i just want to feel normal again. its very frustrating.
is this normal?
has anyone else ever experienced this? if so how long did it take you to get back to normal?

I had high blood pressure, and was put on medication for 3 weeks after giving birth. After that I was fine. I didn't have any symptoms after the birth, just very high blood pressure – no headaches or anything. don't stress – your blood pressure will normalize, stressing will only make it higher.


Is there any blood pressure medication besides Methyldopa that i can take during pregnancy?

I had to take methyldopa for high blood pressure with my last pregnancy and it made me feel horrible! I was dizzy and nauseous every time after i took it. Didn't matter if it was morning or night, any time i took it i suffered. Are there any other medications i can take to mange my blood pressure that are safe to take? i know there are other women out there that have high blood pressure and are pregnant. What do they all do?

Thanks for your help! My Dr. is on Vacation until Friday and i'm too impatient to wait for her answer…LOL! I will definitely bring all your suggestions to the table when i do see her next week though…Thanks!

There are other options. I remember asking my dr the same question when I got pregnant with my 2nd, because I had pre-eclampsia with my first. They said the other options tend to not work as well and have more complications/side effects, but they do have a backup medication for those who can't use methydopa. I hated being on that stuff. I would pass out after taking it and wake up just in time to have to take it again and pass out. When I was awake I was dizzy and I couldn't even remember simple stuff like that the long yellow thing you write with is called a pencil. It was bad. Hopefully, you won't have high blood pressure this time and you won't need medication at all!
