I have a history of peptic ulcers for over 30 years with nothing active for almost 10. Last week I woke up at 1 in the morning with the worst acid reflux I have ever had. I continued to wake up every hour until at 5 I took some Pepcid. and slept till 8.
The next night I woke up at 1 in the morning with the worst burning cramping throughout my whole stomach area. The next day I continued to have pain and nausea with no appitite at all. The third day I had Diarea all day with the pain on and off but more on than off. The last two days the pain is still there but no diarea or nausea. The only thing that helps is 5 mg of Lorcet every 4 hours.
Could the acid from the first day have caused open ulcers in my stomach that need to heal?
