For many that are in pain and think they have an ulcer, usually set an appointment to meet with a doctor if they can tolerate the symptoms long enough. Some even get over the counter medications to ease some of the pain. Others head into the emergency room for some instant relief from medical professionals only to find themselves in pain once again. If ulcer symptoms have been identified and are treatable, this still doesn’t mean that these options are effective. ER technicians can misdiagnose you and your ulcer symptoms.
