Pancreatic ca fears. Please help.
« on: January 05, 2013, 02:28:57 PM »
I rarely have problems with my stomach. That's the ONE place that I don't really get symptoms at. Just everywhere else.  :dazed: But the last couple weeks I've had stomach pain and pressure in the center of my abdomen about 2 inches below my sternum, that vary from an ache to downright stabbing. The pain also radiates up into my chest and sometimes my back. I've also been getting stabbing pains throughout my stomach, some so bad that they make me stop what I'm doing and try to breathe. Of course I googled like an idiot and now I'm convinced I have pancreatic ca. I'm only 31, would this be rare? Do these sound like symptoms? I'm too scared to look it up again. I'm freaking out. PLease help.

Pancreatic cancer at age 31 would be incredibly rare.

Sounds like indigestion or some type of reflux, to me. Or could be something as simple as a pulled muscle in that same area.

Give it a few days, and if its still bothering you, pay a visit to your GP. But I'm sure you're fine.

Pancreatic cancer is typically a disease of the elderly.
