8. Abdominal Swelling
Ascites is a condition associated with pancreatitis where fluid collects in the peritoneal cavity, which typically contains little or no fluid. Symptoms of ascites include swelling of the abdomen, which can make breathing difficult.
Another cause of abdominal swelling is ileus, which is when the stomach and parts of the intestine are distended or had been moved out of place by the enlarged pancreas. About 20% of individuals diagnosed with acute pancreatitis can develop this problem.
