10 Peptic Ulcer Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #3: Nausea and Vomiting
Nausea is a sensation of unease and discomfort that often includes an urge to vomit. Vomiting is the involuntary and forceful expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth and sometimes the nose. It is also known as barfing, puking, or emesis.
Both nausea and vomiting are common and nonspecific symptoms that are often observed in various conditions, such as pregnancy, food poisoning, infection, and peptic ulcer disease. Patients with a chronic untreated duodenal ulcer may present with nausea and vomits after food intake due to a gastric outlet obstruction.
