Hi peeps...
Last night I'm having an awful gastric.
I couldn't sleep at all.
Sigh...
This morning I just 'google' some information related to Gastric Symptoms.
Abdominal
pain is the most common symptom of a gastric ulcer. This pain can be burning,
gnawing or aching, and it might feel similar to hunger pains. The pain occurs
anywhere between the navel and the breastbone, and occasionally spreads to the
back. The most common location for gastric ulcer pain is just beneath the rib
cage on the left side of the body. Gastric ulcer pain frequently attacks within
two to three hours of eating a meal but can also occur at night when the
stomach is empty.
Indigestion
Another common gastric ulcer symptom is indigestion, which
typically involves a burning sensation in the middle of the chest. This
indigestion can make a gastric ulcer sufferer burp, belch or hiccup quite
frequently. Some gastric ulcer patients feel a slight choking sensation during
a bout of indigestion. The indigestion usually disappears after taking an acid
reducer or an antacid. This symptom is frequently mistaken for simple heartburn
or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Other Symptoms
Gastric ulcer patients can suffer from a host of other symptoms, including
headaches, dizziness, light-headedness, fatigue, weakness and pale skin.
Gastric ulcers occasionally produce scar tissue that obstructs the passage of
food through an individual’s digestive tract. This can cause the patient to
vomit frequently or feel quite full after eating very little. Some individuals
report feeling bloated after eating, while others complain of significantly
decreased appetite levels. All of these factors can cause unintentional weight
loss.
Bleeding Gastric Ulcers
Bleeding gastric ulcer can trigger less common but potentially
more serious symptoms. A bleeding ulcer can cause a patient to throw up bright
red blood or to vomit digested blood that looks similar to brown coffee
grounds. A bleeding ulcer might also cause a patient to pass stools that
contain dark red blood or to pass black stools that look like tar. All of these
are signs of a severe gastric ulcer. Any individual suffering from these
symptoms should schedule an appointment to see a doctor as soon as possible.
