Could pancreas problems cause you to vomit?

Pancreas problems, such as pancreatitis, can often cause nausea and vomiting.

Nausea and vomiting are some of the most common symptoms of pancreatitis, which is an inflammation of the pancreas, a gland that is located behind the stomach and helps in digestion.

When the pancreas is inflamed, it can produce enzymes that can irritate the lining of the stomach and intestines, leading to nausea and vomiting.

Other symptoms of pancreatitis can include:

- Abdominal pain

- Fever

- Chills

- Diarrhea

- Constipation

- Weight loss

- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)

If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is important to see a doctor right away, as pancreatitis can be a serious condition. Treatment may include rest, pain medication, IV fluids, and antibiotics if an infection is present.

In severe cases, surgery may be necessary.
