I have had pancreatitis for the past 8 years and am now experiencing uncontrollable pain and inflammation in my chest and abdomen. What medications should I take to manage these symptoms?
Since you are experiencing new, uncontrollable chest and abdominal pain, it is very important that you do not self-medicate at home. These symptoms require immediate medical evaluation to ensure there are no serious complications. Please visit an emergency room or contact your doctor right away. In a clinical setting, doctors can safely manage this flare-up using intravenous fluids, prescription pain-relief medications like tramadol or stronger analgesics, and potentially pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy. Your medical team will tailor the exact medication to your current condition safely.
