Symptoms are worst on an empty stomach.
She succumbed 3 years later. Dear Steve, your symptoms could be due to several conditions including ulcer disease, parasitic infection, and abdominal muscle strain. You are also correct that your symptoms could be due to stress which ahs many different effects on the gastrointestinal tract. You mat wish to continue the Tagamet for 4-6 weeks to see if symptoms improve. If symptoms persist or there are alarm symptoms e.g. weight loss, vomiting, bleeding, then you should have an upper endoscopy.
