What Is a Gastric Ulcer?
4. Severe Symptoms
Gastric ulcers symptoms can be uncomfortable, but are not usually something to be overly concerned about. If the ulcers develop into something more severe, however, then the symptoms can begin to worsen. For example, the more severe cases can cause the patient to experience a loss of appetite, and they can begin to lose weight rapidly.
Some patients will also have difficulty breathing, and they can also sometimes feel lightheaded. Stools can become dark in color and tar-like in texture due to internal bleeding, and blood might sometimes be visible in the patient’s stools. There may also be blood in the patient’s vomit, which can make it black or red in color.
