==History and Symptoms==
==Overview==
* The most common [[ulcer]] symptom is gnawing or burning pain in the [[abdomen]] between the breastbone and the belly button.
Specific areas of focus when obtaining a history from the patient include history of [[nausea]], [[vomiting]], [[epigastric|epigastric pain]] or [[abdominal pain]], [[bloating]], [[gastrointestinal bleeding]], [[anorexia]], [[weight loss]], [[pallor]], a positive history of GI diseases or ''[[H. pylori]]'' infection, history of medication use ([[NSAIDS]]) and food and drinking water hygiene. Majority of patients infected are asymptomatic. Symptoms of ''[[H. pylori]]'' infection include [[halitosis]], [[nausea]], [[vomiting]], [[epigastric pain|epigastric]] or [[abdominal pain]], [[bloating]], [[belching]], dark or tarry like stools ([[melena]]), [[fatigue]], [[diarrhea]] and unexplained weight loss.
* The pain often occurs when the stomach is empty, between meals and in the early morning hours, but it can occur at any other time.
 
* It may last from minutes to hours and may be relieved by eating food or taking antacids.
==History==
* Less common symptoms include [[nausea]], [[vomiting]], or [[loss of appetite]]. Sometimes ulcers bleed. If bleeding continues for a long time, it may lead to [[anemia]] with [[weakness]] and [[fatigue]]. If [[bleeding]] is heavy, [[blood]] may appear in vomit or bowel movements, which may appear dark red or black.

Overview

Specific areas of focus when obtaining a history from the patient include history of nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain or abdominal pain, bloating, gastrointestinal bleeding, anorexia, weight loss, pallor, a positive history of GI diseases or H. pylori infection, history of medication use (NSAIDS) and food and drinking water hygiene. Majority of patients infected are asymptomatic. Symptoms of H. pylori infection include halitosis, nausea, vomiting, epigastric or abdominal pain, bloating, belching, dark or tarry like stools (melena), fatigue, diarrhea and unexplained weight loss.
