What Is a Stress Ulcer?
3. What Are the Symptoms of a Stress Ulcer?
The most common symptom of any type of ulcer is pain. An open sore is another symptom that all ulcers exhibit, although these are not visible to the naked eye in any ulcer except mouth ulcers. Other symptoms of a stress ulcer include heartburn, a burning sensation, nausea, loss of appetite and weight loss.
Another sign of a stress ulcer is internal bleeding. Not every patient experiences this symptom, and often the bleeding is not substantial. However, some patients experience significant bleeding, and this can become a problem if not taken care of.
