I have been having stomach pain and have been unable to eat for about two weeks. I have never had health anxiety so I thought it was flu bug then last night I started vomiting blood. I apparently have a bleeding ulcer or as they said the worst case senario cancer, but most likely an ulcer. That is how it is being treated, I have lost over 10 pounds in two weeks. Has anyone had an ulcer caused by stress and anxiety?

    My Dad did have one when I was younger actually my mother blamed ME for it.

    I know better now that she was probably the cause of it!

    Anyway, he is still alive to reassure you...just follow the directions...I remember he couldn't drink soda, eat spicey foods...hope you feel better.

    Unsure how to answer and i had ulcers but  just thought they were bacteria related or something along those line.i had gone from vegan to eating meat and blamed that. . but i do hope now you are getting the proper medical attentiin to fix the ulcers. I would say be careful with NSAIDs or any meds that are hard your stomach. I do hope you feel better soon and wish you a full recovery. Missy my father had ulcers and blamed my brother what you wrote made me laugh!
