Symptom 5. Nausea and Vomiting
Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms of pancreatic cancer, often resulting from the tumor pressing on surrounding organs or nerves. This pressure can disrupt the normal functioning of the digestive system, leading to feelings of nausea and episodes of vomiting.
In some cases, pancreatic cancer can cause a partial or complete blockage of the stomach, known as gastric outlet obstruction. This blockage prevents food from passing through the digestive system, causing persistent nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
While nausea and vomiting can be symptoms of various conditions, they should not be overlooked when experienced alongside other early signs of pancreatic cancer. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional if you’re experiencing persistent nausea and vomiting, as they may indicate a serious underlying condition.
