History and Symptoms

  • The most common ulcer symptom is gnawing or burning pain in the abdomen between the breastbone and the belly button.
  • The pain often occurs when the stomach is empty, between meals and in the early morning hours, but it can occur at any other time.
  • It may last from minutes to hours and may be relieved by eating food or taking antacids.
  • Less common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite. Sometimes ulcers bleed. If bleeding continues for a long time, it may lead to anemia with weakness and fatigue. If bleeding is heavy, blood may appear in vomit or bowel movements, which may appear dark red or black.
