Symptoms of Ulcer
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).
