Common Questions and Answers about Ulcer stomach tightness

stomach

Avatar m tn Hi, it could be Peptic ulcer pain, which is usually a burning pain. They commonly occur in the stomach and duodenum. Stomach ulcers cause pain on eating and duodenal ulcers cause pain on fasting (2-3 hrs after eating). Peptic ulcers are eroded areas in the lining of the digestive tract usually in the stomach and duodenum. The two common causes for this are: infection with helicobacter pylori and use of nonsteroidal anti inflammatory medications (NSAID).
Avatar f tn The GI symptoms are known as dyspepsia - simply defined as upper GI discomfort. Causes can include an ulcer, inflammation of the stomach and esophagus, GERD, or cancer. Other potential causes include gall bladder diseases or pancreatitis. You stated you are interested in non-invasive tests. I would suggest a liver panel, blood tests for H Pylori (a bacteria associated with ulcers and inflammation of the stomach), and amylase/lipase for the pancreas.
Avatar m tn In addtion, the tightness in my stomach and chest has at times caused me to feel lightheaded and feel pressure in my head when trying to get a full breath. This also may or may not be related but up until recently I was having a major issue with a chronic nose bleed in one of my nostrils that could not be solved by an ear nose and throat specialist as of yet.
Avatar m tn I was having extreme pressure and gurgling with the pain. Also tightness in my chest and minor pain there. I have been taking NSAIDS for close to ten years now , I have been to the ER 5 times this week I had 2 full blood work ups, 3 urine screens, a lower cat scan w/o contrast , an unoffical ultrasound the dr called it,and chest xray And they said other than my kidney function being a little low everything looked ok.
Avatar f tn I am in week 23 of tx with Vic, just started a new sx in the past couple of weeks. Uncomfortable gastric pain, honestly it feels like the medicine is boring a hole in my stomach. The pain is right in the center of stomach above belly button area. Anyone else have this side effect? At first it was shortly after taking meds, now it is most of the day.
Avatar n tn Could this be just muscle (have tried hot and cold packs but they make no difference), kidney?
Avatar m tn It was decided that I probably had an inflamed stomach lining or an ulcer. While there they took blood to test for electrolytes, lyme disease, and thyroid function, I haven't heard the lab results from that so I assume normal. Was put on a prescription prilosec, and to give it 3 weeks.
Avatar m tn I have GI appointment at the end of the month. Is it possible to have a stomach ulcer for 6 months?
Avatar f tn Suggest avoiding coffee and see if the stomach 'tightness' subsides. If no, then it may be the medication. if it is the medication, suggest talking to your MD. Thank you for your question.
1752640 tn?1352767394 Gastritis is a more likely scenario. It might not be a bad idea to check with your doc and possibly ask for some testing. You may want to consider asking him to check for the presence of H. pylori, the bacteria that is implicated in causing stomach issues and gastritis.
Avatar f tn Why do i have pain in my upper left stomach, nausea after i eat, loss of appetite, and everytime i drink water it makes it worse
526146 tn?1287442248 the pain is central in the stomach and above the belly button. The meds Im on are actually for an ulcer or excess acid and do help when taken - its a horrid pain!

Avatar f tn m terrified I have stomach cancer or stomach ulcer. I am 24 years old, non smoker and non drinker. Theres no chance I could br pregnant.
Avatar m tn I woke up later that night at about 2am with severe stomach pain. The pain has become mild andcomes and goes. Could I have an ulcer?
Avatar n tn A 42 year old woman.Early sep was experiencing recurrent pain on upper right/mid abdomen, below rib cage. Felt like throbbing/crampy pain as if spasms. Also experiencing heavy perspiration at night only and woken nightly with the pain, feeling of tighthness, spasm in abdomen and need pass wind. Knowing nothing about anatomy I feel the worst pain is as though caused by a twist, tightness in my bowel or inflammed area that when wind or stool passes through it is sore.
Avatar f tn Could I have an ulcer? I have stomach pain around my belly button and above - pain goes through to my back. Pain severe when I waken in the morning until I get up (strange) Pain is worse when I am lying down. When I eat, the pain goes away for a couple of hours, then comes back.
8742761 tn?1399611857 At first I thought this was just heart burn but I haven't slept in 3 days bc my stomach feels like its burning or just pain and its not just my upper stomach its all over. I'm 33weeks tomorrow first time mommy and starting to get worried someone please help tell me if this is normal.
Avatar f tn The reason stomach acid does not destroy your stomach is because your stomach is lined with mucus membranes. Stomach acid is not like the advertisements that show the acid in a container and a TUMS is added to the container and the acid is neutralized. Your stomach has acid pumps that spew acid whenever food or liquid is added in your stomach. I do not know how many acid pumps there are in a human's stomach, but enough to attack whatever is added to your stomach for digestion purposes.
