Symptoms of ulcer

The symptoms of an ulcer can vary depending on its location, but common signs include:

• Pain or burning sensation in the abdomen, often between the breastbone and navel. This pain may worsen when the stomach is empty and improve after eating or taking antacids.
• Bloating or a feeling of fullness.
• Nausea or vomiting.
• Loss of appetite or feeling full quickly.
• Heartburn.
• Indigestion.
• Unintentional weight loss.
• In more severe cases, black, tarry stools (indicating bleeding) or vomiting blood can occur.
