Peptic Ulcer Disease Signs & Symptoms | Gastric vs. Duodenal Ulcers

Peptic Ulcer Disease Signs & Symptoms | Gastric vs. Duodenal Ulcers

Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) is a disease involving ulceration of the gastrointestinal mucosa, often involving the stomach (gastric ulcers) and the first part of the small intestine – duodenum (duodenal ulcers). PUD can be caused by a variety of causes, of which infection with helicobacter pylori and chronic use of NSAIDs are the most common causes. The ulceration can cause a variety of signs and symptoms, which slightly differ between gastric and duodenal ulcers. In this lesson, we discuss these signs and symptoms, including why they occur, when they occur, and what makes them better and worse. We also discuss some complications of peptic ulcer disease, including warning/alarm symptoms.

I had an ulcer for 7 years before a doctor took me seriously. In that time I had a full hysterectomy in my 30’s and was also accused of being addicted to opiates because they didn’t think anything was wrong with me. After my GP retired and I had a new doc he sent me to a surgeon who immediately ordered a scope and then found a duodenal ulcer. I now carry the frequent flyer opiate addict due to doctors not taking me seriously and I am not! In fact I am never in the ER anymore since being properly diagnosed and treated. So doctors, no matter what you think is going on, please take your patients seriously!

I have some of the symptoms contains in your subject about Peptic ulcer. I have heartburn started few years ago & it worsened when I have strained my left upper back last January. I still have a slight back pain but my heartburn really gets severe. I started to take meds. but it didn’t really help but diet does help a little. I’m having a endoscopy soon & I hope it will show whatever is going on in my stomach. My lifestyle was really change now. It impacted my activities, my eating, my sleeping. Still trying to be positive to avoid stress but sometimes I can’t help, I lose hope to get better. I’m so thankful that I’m religious and have a strong faith to God. I believed that everything happens for a reason and hoping to get well soon and still can go back to my old lifestyle. I learned so much from your discussions & I’m so thankful for that. God bless you sir. Thanks for sharing. Carry on.

I believe I may have solved my own stomach issues in that case. Yet I'm still going to have my stomach checked out just to be on the safe side. This truly helped.

Ibuprofen is the worst thing ever! I literally had no idea when during my painful period, a few days ago, on days 1 and 2, I took ibuprofen… the ibuprofen caused me so much stomach pain: the middle and lower abdominal… Burning pain and some digested blood in my stool… This is ongoing for a few days now. Never ever will I take I ibuprofen again

Psalm 101
1 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.
2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
4 A forward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off: him that hath a high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord.

I have a pain in my back every morning about 6:00 am, just before waking. I sit up and burp and it goes away. Sometimes I burp all day.

[nafisasulaimannafsal]

My ulcer is causing me dizziness, feeling somehow and uncomfortable within my head, legs and hands and also some in comfortability through my vains generally

[BrolicBoss]

I highly recommend if you feel something wrong get it checked. I had a bleeding ulcer and didn't know because I had no symptoms. So basically everything happened at once or THE SAME TIME. I'm well now but get it checked

[azibermahamoudtahir]

You made upd a great sense it’s more useful for clarifying this topic. Clapping for your hard work really appreciate it

[amaampofowaa]

Perfect explanation exactly what I was suffering from

[OswaldDigestiveClinic]

Appreciate the share! To add to this, Gut health is so important for overall health!  A survey from 2018 of 71, 000 Americans found that 61% had at least 1 bothersome gut issue!  The most common gut symptom was acid reflux or GERD, then abdominal pain, then bloating.

[caulapercel]

I think I’m going through all this as well, my stomach hurt and having chest pain and discomfort. I feel weak and lost appetite as well. I did a lot of test but only the ulcer test was positive. Have been on medication but it won’t go away

[AltEgo.]

Wow I spent a week on google tryna find any symptoms to ones I have and you literally explained it in 5min. Then the additional info was even more helpful. So I’ll go ahead and leave a like and a sub for you 👌🏽

Lol literally the first video I watched and got my answer. I have horrible anxiety with going to the doctors but getting info like this makes it easier to go in.

[hotwireman]

The speed at which you speak makes this video unintelligible. Do you think you could slow that down some? I love your content! And I need answers that I'm not getting from my medical team. Thank you for your hard work!

[RitaMBuda-tzbi]

Is it possible to have both at the same time? I never had stomach issues in my life, then suddenly it started and hasn't gone away. I'm not used to this and not sure what to do about it, without having to go to the doctor. I currently don't have one. The one I'd been seeing is a dictatorial, cold clinical person and I dumped him. I don't much care for doctors and prefer to avoid them as much as possible.

[rynothealbinoryno]

what about the shortness of breath brought on by these?

[clairejevron]

I have sharp pain, swelling when I eat, then days later burning in the entire tract and then it goes. I feel so tired and I have terrible belching and bloating even after a bland meal. I am also losing weight too.

[GucciBaby]

WOW so informative and well put together. Thank you!

[chacha]

My grandma has peptic ulcer. This is very informative. Thank you! 💗

[lukeblack]

I went to base they sent me to urgent care then they sent me to the ER. I was at the ER all day and they finally called me back just to have time drink this numbing crap and then wouldn’t do a CT scan, or anything. Waste of my time. And I believe I have an ulcer. It’s so beyond uncomfortable
