Stomach ulcers causes a burning or gnawing feeling in the stomach that usually lasts between 0.5 to 3 hours. The pain is interpreted as heartburn, indigestion or hunger. Pain is usually restricted to upper abdomen but may occur below the breast bone. In some individuals pain occurs immediately after eating; in others it may be delayed a few hours. Stomach ulcers often wakes people at night, and they can be episodic, with pain free weeks followed by frequent pain. The pain may be relieved by eating, drinking milk, or taking antacids.
