Symptoms Of Pancreatitis To Look Out For

Nausea And Vomiting

Nausea occurs when an individual feels like they need to vomit. Vomiting describes the forceful actuation of contents from the stomach up through the esophagus and out of the mouth. Nausea is a sensation activated in an individual's brain when the body experiences an abnormal buildup of toxic substances, or when digestive organs and structures become inflamed. A pancreatitis patient may experience nausea and vomiting because of an obstruction in the duct that carries pancreatic enzymes and bile to the small intestine. A blockage in this duct causes the accumulation of bilirubin in the blood, which can activate the brain's nausea center. Additionally, the nerve fibers of the nerves surrounding the pancreatic tissue that has become swollen, inflamed, and infected can become irritated and activate the nausea center in the brain.
