In acute pancreatitis, fever develops within hours after the pain starts, and can go as high as 100-101 F. The person may feel and look very sick, sweat profusely, experience significant changes in blood pressure (either too high or too low), feel lethargic and confused, and may even lose consciousness. Their pulse rate may go up and their breathing may become rapid.
