Stomach ulcer symptoms:



A long time ago, in an apartment far far away, I suffered with stomach ulcers.For 2 years I suffered repeated attacks.At first, I was none the wiser as to the gnawing pains in my solar plexus.I awoke very often at about 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning with a throbbing pain in my stomach. The pain would last about 4 to 5 hours.I drank repeated glasses of water to help flush the contents of my stomach further down the digestive tract. I had no idea I was actually suffering from a stomach ulcer, and by the time it got bad enough for me to decide to seek medical help, it seemed to disappear, only to reappear a few weeks later, and a little more intensely.One thing I did notice though, was that eating toasted cheese and tomato sandwiches seemed to bring on an attack. I also noticed a degree of acid reflux happening, perhaps a couple of hours before an episode of stomach pain. I was also aware that another possible cause of my discomfort was that I was constipated.This indicated that my digestive system was clogged, possibly causing the heartburn.Little did I know, that these were all symptoms of a stomach ulcer.

Bleeding stomach ulcers

A good friend of mine was admitted to hospital for bleeding ulcers.A bleeding ulcer is something you don't want to mess with. It almost cost him his life.What happened to him was that he was unaware of the severity of his condition. It was hidden due to the large number of iron tablets he was taking.One of the symptoms of a bleeding ulcer is dark brown, almost black stools. Iron tablets will give you the same result if taken in large doses. Another symptom of a bleeding stomach ulcer is blood in your vomit. This will appear like dark coffee granules. If it's bright red then perhaps you have a different problem, still, one can never be too sure.Let's get back to my friends story. He passed out in the bathroom, regained consciousness a few minutes later and dragged himself to the lounge where he managed to phone an ambulance, get the front door open, passed out again and awoke with an intravenous in his arm. He only had one litre of blood left in him when he arrived at the hospital.

My recommendation

Stomach ulcers have been around for a long time, but modern medicine is relatively new. The western medical profession is very drug oriented, and even though there are some marvellous developments, they seem to be missing the bigger picture. A good doctor should examine all avenues of healing and administer the best possible solution. With that in mind, my recommendation for dealing effectively with a stomach ulcer, is to go and have it checked out by a medical doctor, get a comprehensive examination so you know if you have a bleeding ulcer or not.

Stop taking any strong painkillers or other medication that could damage your stomach lining, then, go see an ayurvedic doctor.
