Untreated ulcers can be serious -- both in terms of complications and in terms of the decrease in quality of life -- and should be investigated by a medical professional. If you are remotely concerned that you may have an ulcer, you should consult a physician. Only she will be able to adequately interpret the signs and symptoms you experience. Strangers on the internet, knowledgeable though they may appear, are not capable of providing the medical attention you need to reach an appropriate diagnosis.
The following generic information about ulcers may be useful, but absolutely does not replace a visit to your doctor.
Stomach ulcers, also called gastric ulcers, are definitively diagnosed using endoscopy, a procedure wherein a camera is placed through the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and small intestine to visualize any pathology. This technique, specifically called esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), can identify ulcers and other pathological findings, including the complications thereof (eg, bleeding from an ulcer).
Aside from EGD, there are other signs and symptoms associated with gastric ulcers. The classic findings are abdominal and chest pain occurring intermittently, that can sometimes be described as burning or hunger-like pains, but are often crampy, achy, or otherwise vague. The pain is often relieved to some degree by eating or consuming antacids.
