Symptoms of peptic ulcer are: prolonged
abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, acid
reflux, indigestion etc. Black stool is a
sign of bleeding ulcer. Sudden unbearable
stomach pain can be due to ulcer
perforation. Vomiting blood can be found
in peptic ulcer but it can be found in
other conditions too.
Have you ever had stomach pain before
now?
Can you describe that pain: precise
location?, is it continuous or
intermittent? sharp or dull?; present when
hungry or after eating?
Do you abuse alcohol?
How often is the vomiting happens? Is
blood always present?
