peptic ulcer , extreme vertigo / dizziness
Posted: 12-06-05 10:50am

I was diagnosed with a peptic ulcer in june 2005 and the problem quickly went away with basic treatment. However, about 2 months ago I began to feel symptoms of the ulcer again....But nothing too serious. Skip forward a week, and after a strong cup of coffee I experienced extreme vertigo/dizziness that lasted several hours. The next day I had similar problems along with a serious headache and vomiting without any signs of blood.


My doctor ran a lot of tests, including diabetes, cholesterol, hepatitus (sp?), but everything checked out fine.

The wooziness, however, is still present, particularly in the afternoon/early evening. Mornings are fine. Any ideas what this could be? I am currently in the czech republic and unfortunately my czech is quite adequate to converse about my conditions with my local doctor. Thanks.

Dizziness and fainting
Posted: 09-23-08 12:32pm

I have not been in enough testing to be diagnosed with an ulcer yet but it is what I believe I have.

Certain foods soothe it at first but cause real trouble a few hours later:

1: coffee
2: pepperoni or sausage (i.e. on pizza)
3: tomatoes
4: anything salty
5: anything spicy hot

Carrots seem to be ok


I get dizziness and a tendency to almost blackout (but not quite) - I can feel the palpitating in my chest cavity (near my stomach) and blood rushes to my head (causing visible flushing redness) and this is when I feel faint, dizzy and disoriented.

I've only fallen down once and was able to get back up almost immediately.

I'm 51 yrs old, 6'1" and 268 lbs.
