Signs & Symptoms of Stomach Ulcer

Weird Hunger

People with stomach ulcers might also feel weirdly hungry. While this health issue tends to cause a loss of appetite, the painful sensation it triggers between the chest and belly button, often 1 to 3 hours after having a meal, is usually mistaken for a pang of hunger. In some cases, eating would be helpful in alleviating the pain when it is caused by a stomach ulcer, but not when the ulcer occurs in the lower part of your intestine. Of course, there will be many other conditions that cause this symptom, so it is better to consult your doctor for a precise diagnosis. [9]
