Pancreatititis is a digestive disorder in which the inflammation of pancreas occurs. Pancreas is located in the upper region of abdomen. The main function of pancreas is the production of digestive juices and hormones that plays a major role in digestion of food. Pancreatitis in a patient can be observed with the help of following signs and symptoms:

• Pain: The main symptom of pancreatititis disorder is the pain in abdomen. This pain is so severe that the patient finds it unbearable. Sometime pain in back can also occur because of this disorder. With this pain the breathing of patient is affected because if person breaths normally then pain becomes more severe. The patient gets relief in pain if he breaths slowly. The other ways of getting relief from this pain is to sit up and walk for some time. Bending forward can also help to get rid of pain.

• Shock: Shock is another classical symptom of pancreatitis that tends to occur in most of the pancreatitis sufferers. Shock generally occurs in patients when the level of fluid in blood stream reduces than the normal level. During shock the temperature of body falls dramatically and arms and legs of the sufferer become very cold. In this condition the blood pressure of patient falls so dangerously that it can be life threatening. The mental state of patient gets abnormal during shock.
