Stomach Ulcer? Posted: 11-01-04 09:19am
Does anybody know what a stomach ulcer
feels like? It feels as though I have a
constant stomach ache/heart burn (like the
last month or so). I'm under some stress
right now, but i'm been this stressed (if
not more stressed) before, so i'm pretty
sure it's not that. I just don't know
what this is!!! Anybody have an idea?

I looked on wedmd and it says that being
under alot of stress and heartburn, itchy
inbetween the breasts, stomach ache and
some other things are signs of an ulcer.
I only know this cause ryans mom had to
look it up for me since I was havin the
same symptoms after having mackenzie.
Good luck

I always thought it was just this horrible
stomach ache, with a empty stomach feeling
24/7. I dont know, my father continues to
try to scare me because I always used to
drink soda and he would say that I have an
ulcer when I kept complaining that I was
always hungry. I actually believed him!
But the real reason was that I was
pregnant, lol! I was wondering why I was
so damn hungry..
Sam, I hope you find out what's wrong and
I hope you feel better!

Ug... Thanks guys. I'm seriously hoping
it's just stress. I don't think I could
deal with a stomach ulcer. Me+medical
problems=not fun! If it keeps up, i'll
talk to my doctor.

Heres what my book says...
Pain associated with a gastric ulcer is
located in the high epigastrium (that
means stomach...Probably right below your
sternum) and occurs spontaneously about 1
to 2 hours after meals. The pain is
described as burning or gaseous.

there may be no
symptoms of ulcers or the individual may
experience:
a gnawing or burning pain in the abdomen
between the breastbone and the navel. The
pain is usually worse a couple of hours
after a meal or in the middle of the night
when the stomach is empty.
Nausea
vomiting
loss of appetite
loss of weight
tiredness (a symptom of a bleeding ulcer)
weakness (a symptom of a bleeding ulcer)
blood in vomit or stool. When blood is in
the stool, it appears tarry or black
(symptom of a bleeding ulcer).
treatment for
ulcer
along with reducing stress and modifying
lifestyle, doctors treat gastric and
duodenal ulcers with several types of
medicines, including h2-blockers,
proton-pump inhibitors and mucosal
protective agents. When treating h.
Pylori, these medications are used in
combination with antibiotics. If
medication is ineffective or complications
arise, surgery may be required.
Hope you feel better sam! Maybe you
should go to the doctor.

Hmmmmmmm, this is starting to not sound
like a stomach ulcer. I don't have any of
the pain, weekness or bloody anything!
Ug. I hate stress... Which is probably
what this is. I'm just tired and
nauseaus/heart burny. It's weird... I'm
just hungry now!!!!!

I have been really stressed out, plus i'm
on my period, so my stomach has been
bothering me a lot. You could just be
getting the flu. Try drinking some hot
chocolate, or soup. It really helps
believe me. Adam made me both last night,
because he left to go to his apartment
quick, and called his mom and told her
that I was having feminine problems, and
thats what she said to do, so he came over
and made me hot cocoa, and soup. Lol. It
really helps, even for a upset tummy.
