10 Stomach Ulcer Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #2: Nausea or Vomiting
Stomach ulcers can cause nausea or vomiting. These stomach ulcer symptoms occur due to the inflammation resulting from the damaged stomach lining. This leads to on and off muscular contractions that may cause vomiting.
The churning abdominal movements may also cause nausea. This feeling usually calms down after a meal or upon taking an antacid. Nausea or vomiting may also occur if the ulcer is located in the lower part of the stomach or in the duodenum. In such a case, inflammation of the ulcer can cause partial blockage making movement of stomach contents into the small intestines difficult. Therefore, the esophagus may be the easier way out for the stomach contents.
