What Is a Gastric Ulcer?
3. Typical Symptoms
Most people that have a gastric ulcer will not experience any symptoms. Once symptoms do arise, however, the patient is likely to feel pain in the abdomen area. The pain is often described as a burning sensation in the stomach. The pain is due to the acidic juices burning at the exposed stomach lining.
Patients with gastric ulcers will tend to worsen when they eat certain food. Other symptoms include bloating and feeling full sooner than usual. Acid reflux is another possible symptom, and the patient might also need to burp more frequently than usual. Nausea is another potential symptom, and it can cause the patient to vomit sometimes.
