9Symptoms of a Stomach Ulcer
Stomach ulcers form in the stomach lining. They happen when the thick layer of mucus protecting the stomach is affected. As a result, digestive acids would eat away these tissues and cause an ulcer. Typical signs include pain or a burning sensation in the abdomen. These problems tend to become worse when the stomach is empty. Depending on the causes, you would feel them in a few minutes to hours. Other symptoms include bloating, vomiting, nausea, weight loss, dull pain, heartburn, or burping. [9]
