Lately I have been experiencing the pain that feels like a dull ache. It usually comes and goes and I’ve noticed that it usually goes away after I eat. Until now I’ve never experienced anything similar and I’m very frightened. Is it possible that I have Peptic Ulcer???
Dear, peptic ulcer is a sore in the lining of your stomach or duodenum. If they are found in the stomach, they're called gastric ulcers while if found in the duodenum, they're called duodenal ulcers. I really can’t tell you if you have any (or possibly both) and seeing your doctor is the first step you have to take. He’s the only person who can diagnose you. Fortunately, peptic ulcers are treated successfully so you need not to worry much.
