What Causes Abdominal Pain With Vomiting?
I have been experiencing sever upper abdominal pain on and off for about 6 weeks. On Friday i had a really bad episode and was vomiting. The pain last for almost 24 hours and the vomiting for about 15 hours. I went to the ER and they thought it was my gallbladder, but both an ultrasound & HIDA scan showed that it was not. My concern is that the ultra sound should a slightly prominent head of pancreas. I am worried about what this could mean and what would be causing the pain.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
The ultrasonographic finding of prominent head of pancreas obviously can be a reason for severe pain in abdomen and vomiting.
Get MRI ans MRCP done.
Serum amylase and lipase.
Other relevant blood, urine and stool tests.
Consult a Surgical Gastroenterologist and find what the problem is and get treated accordingly.
