Since 1 week I am having pain in upper abdomen and my amylase report has come very high (139) should I check for pancreatitis and which specialist should I approach

139 is within normal range i think depends on your lab where you got your self tested.
What about lipase?
Elevated lipase levels are more specific to the pancreas than elevated amylase levels.
