<human>: I have pain, tender to touch and what seems to be a soft cyst on my xiphoid process.  I have not been feeling well and have had a low grade temp for several days.  My abdominal CT Scan was negative, however I did have some elevated labs related to my pancreas.  My doc thinks that I have a virus that just needs to run its course.
<bot>: HIT hanks for posting your query.  Fever could be due to Viral infection. Your cyst is unlikely due to viral infection but if at all there is a cyst an Abdominal CT would have picked it up. So I feel there is no cyst.  Elevated labs related to pancreas indicates Pancreatitis. For this you need to be nil by mouth for 2 days. In that case you need to get admitted to hospital and get IV fluids.  It would be very helpful if you can upload the reports of your blood tests so that I can advise you much better. Regards.
