My brother has pain in his arms and stomach problems. He is 45 and used to be an alcoholic. He was hospitalized with pancreatitis almost 12 years ago. He has not drank since that hospitalization. He looks about 7 months pregnant and he also has sleep apnea. What can you tell me to point out some possible diagnosis.
HiI may advise periodic liver enzyme and pancreatic enzymatic tests for evaluation. Consult an orthopedic doctor for arm or shoulder pain. For sleep apnea consult a physician or ENT specialist. Sometimes reflux esophagitis may also cause apnea. He should be taking omeprazole/pantoprazole on empty stomach daily. Avoid heavy meals before bedtime. Best wishes
