Peptic Ulcers Support Group

Within the last month I have felt ill. Usually late in the evening into the early morning.. I'll feel really sick, like to the point of dry heeving sometimes.. It usually doesn't happen during the day though during the day my tummy can get upset and feel bad.. But it's usually at night within minutes after eating or sometimes even drinking. I can feel it coming on because I'll get kind of clammy inside (if that makes sense)... It just feels like my face has gone flush even though I don't think that it actually does. Then my stomach just gets really upset and I feel like if I could volmit I'd feel a thousand times better.. Then sometimes after that I'll get dry heeves..

I've been super stressed out the last two months and my mother actually had bleeding ulcers that put her in ICU years ago so we deal with stress in the same way and even though ulcers aren't hereditary the ways in which our bodies deal with stress sometimes is.. So I'm wondering if this could be the starting signs of ulcers? I'm going to try some over the counter stuff tonight if it happens and see if that helps just to help me figure out if it is likely an ulcer..

If anyone has any thoughts or comments on what this could be please let me know. I go to the doctor tomorrow for other reasons but will be bringing this up and trying to get some answers.

I am diabetic type 2 and am taking meds for that which could possibly contribute to the stomache lining having faults causing ulcers easier. I am 32. Don't know if all that info is needed or not.. :)

Thanks everyone in advance.
