I took a blood test and have high amylase,lipase, increased PLT EST,RDW, PLT CNT, microcytes,hypocromia. I have low MPV,MCHC,MCH,HCT,MCV,HGBK and BUN. Now they are sending me to see a H&O and a GI specialist. Am I in a really bad state? I don't drink or smoke but the doctor keeps asking if I do?:confused:

BigS, part of the problem of not understanding a condition is not asking enough questions when your doctor gives you a diagnoses of a potential health problem. I would like you to visit this website which will explain Pancreatitis in depth:
