| The
Symptoms
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms then
you should get checked out for the presence of a gastric ulcer.
You will need to see your doctor for a proper
diagnosis.
The signs and symptoms of a gastric ulcer are almost
opposite to the signs and symptoms of duodenal ulcers
- the main differences are noticed in the timing and severity
of the pain.
- Gastric ulcers generally cause a dull aching pain, often
right after eating.
- Making a meal can often cause an increase in pain
- Eating will not relieve pain as is the case with other
types of ulcers
- Indigestion and heartburn, or acid reflux
- Nagging pain in the upper abdomen area below your breastbone
- Episodes of nausea
- A noticeable loss of appetite
- Unplanned weight loss
- Another less common symptom of a gastric ulcer is that
about 3 in every 10 people are woken up at night by dull
ulcer pains – this usually happens 3- 4 hours after
eating.
Frequently asked questions
Q. How come I have no symptoms but I can see that
I am bleeding internally?
A. Some ulcers may produce no symptoms at
all. You may be completely unaware that you have an ulcer
until you have occasional painless bleeding episodes and anemia.
The passage of smelly black, tarry stools may be your first
sign of a bleeding
ulcer.
If your ulcer is already at an advanced stage then repeated
episodes of bleeding can be identified. Vomiting new blood
which is bright red in color, or older digested blood that
is dark and grainy, are also sure symptoms of a gastric ulcer
that has started bleeding.
A bleeding
ulcer is a medical emergency
Don’t waste any time getting immediate
treatment. If your gastric ulcer is bleeding, then
you may vomit bright new red blood, or older digested blood
that looks like brown coffee grounds and have black, tarry
bowel movements.
Q. Why do I feel dizzy and faint at times?
A. You need to check for the symptoms of a bleeding
ulcer - if these are present then the dizziness and faintness
will be due to a loss of blood. You should seek immediate
treatment to stop the blood flow.
Q. Is it normal to experience intermittent and different
pains?
A. This differs from person to person but
many people do have periods of ulcer pain followed by pain
free periods that can last for several days or even months.

chest - when this happens it is common for people to think
