Will pancreatic cancer cause severe headaches?

Pancreatic cancer patients may experience severe headaches. This needs to be determined based on the severity of the disease and the individual's physical condition. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Severe headaches may not occur: Pancreatic cancer is a group of malignant tumors originating from the pancreatic duct epithelium and acinar cells, and is extremely malignant. In the early stages of the disease, symptoms such as upper abdominal discomfort, indigestion, and diarrhea may occur, but generally do not cause headaches. Patients are advised to undergo surgical treatment in a timely manner. Pancreaticoduodenectomy can be performed to remove cancerous tissue and improve symptoms.

2. Severe headaches may occur: As the disease progresses, if pancreatic cancer metastasizes to distant sites, it may metastasize to the brain, thereby inducing headache symptoms, and may also be accompanied by vomiting, nausea, etc. If not treated in time, headache symptoms may worsen. It is recommended to perform a head CT or MRI examination in time to make a judgment. When pain symptoms occur, you can take acetaminophen tablets, ibuprofen sustained-release capsules and other medications as prescribed by the doctor.

In daily life, you need to pay attention to the development of the disease at any time and go to the hospital for regular check-ups. You should also develop good living habits and maintain a good attitude.
