Pancreatitis is one of the things it can lead to. Only a doctor can confirm what exactly the problem is and diagnose it. We do not have all the facts or his medical chart here to make diagnosis....plus many are not qualified to make the diagnosis even if we did. I as a nurse of 20 years and a paramedic of 12 would never make a diagnosis on any forum as I am not qualified to do so without all the facts that are in a medical chart.
