These pressure changes often leave your ears feeling plugged or as if they need to pop to feel normal again. Sounds seem muffled, and your ears may hurt. To unstop them, you need to regain the pressure balance between the middle ear and your eardrum.
There are two main types, acute pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis. Symptoms of pancreatitis include pain in the upper abdomen, nausea and vomiting. The pain often goes into the back and is usually severe. In acute pancreatitis a fever may occur and symptoms typically resolve in a few days.
Acute pancreatitis comes on suddenly, usually with mild to severe pain in the upper abdomen that may radiate to the back and occasionally to the chest. Pain often worsens when drinking alcohol or eating. In addition to pain, other pancreatitis symptoms include nausea and vomiting, fever, and a swollen, tense abdomen. Some individuals with chronic pancreatitis may experience little to no discomfort; however, most people have intermittent bouts of abdominal pain that can be severe, even constant.
