SIGNS OF STOMACH ULCERS
Signs of a peptic (stomach or intestinal) ulcer include a dull or burning pain in the upper abdomen, bloating, feeling full quickly, nausea, and heartburn. More serious symptoms, indicating bleeding from the ulcer, include vomiting blood or dark, tarry stools. It's essential to see a healthcare professional for persistent or severe symptoms, especially if you notice signs of bleeding.
