Signs & Symptoms of Stomach Ulcer

Abdominal Pain

Another possible sign of stomach ulcers is the severe pain in your upper abdomen. Ulcers would grow and develop anywhere around the upper parts of the digestive tract. However, many people often mistake those sensations in the small intestine or stomach in which they actually feel pain. In many cases, this pain often happens between the belly button and breastbone and could lead to a dull, aching, or burning feeling. In the beginning, the sensation might start as mild and light pain but usually progresses into more severe when the ulcers grow and spread. Make sure to visit a healthcare provider as soon as you notice this sign. [2]
