Does this sound like an ulcer?
44 yr old male. A year and a half ago I started experiencing pain in upper abdomen. It started about the same time I started taking an aspirin a day. Burning sensation, hunger pangs that went away when I ate. The more I ate the better I felt. I gained a lot of weight. Finally decided to go to the doctor. Xiphoid process was also hurting. Thought I might be a hiatal hernia. Xray showed no hernia. waiting results of the bacteria that causes ulcers and they want me to go to a GI for a scope. I started taking a prilosec two weeks ago. I got some better. Still pain, tight diaphragm muscles, bloating a couple of hours after I ate. 3 days ago I stopped the asprin. Today, much of the pain is gone, muscles are relaxed, Not much of a tugging feeling when I lean back. Could it have been the aspirin? My father had a duodenal ulcer for many years. Does this sound like an ulcer to you?
