Bleeding Stomach Ulcer Warning Signs

When people talk about bleeding ulcers, they generally mean bleeding stomach ulcers, also known medically as peptic ulcers.

Peptic ulcers actually occur in two separate parts of the gastrointestinal tract:

* inside the stomach (this is known as a gastric ulcer),

* inside the duodenum, which is the upper portion of your small intestine (a duodenal ulcer).

These ulcers, which are basically open sores, form when the protective lining of the stomach or duodenum becomes eroded.

An ulcer is considered to be a bleeding ulcer when the erosion has eaten its way into a blood vessel. This is considered a serious medical situation that requires immediate attention, and surgery may be needed.

The following symptoms could be warning signs of a bleeding peptic ulcer.

* Sudden, severe pain in the abdominal area. Discomfort may also be felt in the back.

* Red or black blood in vomit or in your stool.

* Vomiting food that you ate hours ago, or even yesterday

* Difficultly swallowing

* Nausea

* Pain lingers even after you’ve take medication

* Unplanned weight loss

* A feeling of unusual weakness, which may be due to anemia, a condition in which you don’t have enough healthy red blood cells.

This video covers symptoms of ulcers and causes of ulcers with a special focus on bleeding ulcers. Although most people think ulcers are caused by stress, there are other reasons ulcers occur, and they are listed in this video.

Bleeding ulcers are especially dangerous and constitue a medical emergency. Anyone who experiences the symptoms described in this report should call a doctor immediately.

The narrator is George McKenzie, the former host of the “Achievers” nationally syndicated cable TV health program and the “Healthy, Wealthy And Wise” radio show.
