It is noted that this symptom has a close connection with food intake — Usually it appears immediately after eating. After some time, the unpleasant sensations subscribe to full disappearance.
The second frequent symptom — This is a heartburn, felt as a strong burning in the sternum. It is connected with the cast of gastric content in the esophagus. Sometimes, along with this sign, the belching arises, due to which the acid can even get into the oral cavity.
The third symptom, which, however, is not characteristic of the initial stage of the disease, is vomiting. Most often her cause — Rubtsovaya narrowing of the place of transition of the gastric in the duodenum. Due to the reduction of evacuation speed, the adopted food is stomed in the stomach. In this case, its release brings rapid relief to the patient.

Lack of food caused by fear of pain or vomiting is the main cause of weight loss in patients. This symptom is also characteristic of a process that has already existed for a while.
Threatening symptoms of stomach ulcers
There is a group of symptoms, the appearance of which indicates an impending disaster in the patient's body. Their emergence is associated with the onset of severe complications of ulcerative disease, in which delay in the provision of qualified medical care can cost a person life.
Here are these signs that everyone should know about «Yazvennik»:
- Kinja abdominal pain;
- vomiting by type «Coffee Ground»;
- black chair, or melen;
- increasing pallor of skin;
- rapidly protruding cold sticky sweat.
The first sign is irrefutable indicative of the perforation of ulcers. In this case, the aggressive effect of the gastric juice leads to the occurrence of the through hole in the stomach wall and the breakthrough of its contents in the abdominal cavity. Acid has a strongest irritating effect on the peritoness receptors, as a result of which in the upper floor of the abdomen there is an attack of pain, comparable of power with a knife with a knife in this area — That is why it is called «Kinjal». With the appearance of this, the symptom of a person should be immediately delivered to the nearest hospital, where a surgical operation will be produced.
The remaining threatening symptoms indicate the occurrence of bleeding from the site of ulcers. Such a situation occurs if the pathological process leads to corrosive wall of the blood vessel. Depending on the thickness of the artery, bleeding can be weak or strong, can last for several days or deprive a person of life for an hour.
However, even damage to the small caliber vessel is considered to be a threatening state, so when even one-time vomiting appears «Coffee dense» or change the color of the wheel masses on the black (color of the tar) should be immediately caused «ambulance» and deliver a patient to the medical institution.
The symptoms of the stomach ulcers are quite bright and even a person far from medicine may recognize them. But it is better not to bring the situation to hospitals: proper nutrition, the rejection of bad habits and the struggle with stress will make you forget for a disease for a long time.
