2. Abdominal distention
It is a visible increase in abdominal size. It is not a sensation, but an objective and visible sign that patients with gastric ulcers usually suffer. The relationship between stomach ulcers and intestinal gases is not entirely known. Even so, it is very likely that whoever has stomach ulcers, also suffers from abdominal enlargement, accompanied by swelling and flatulence. Together, these symptoms can cause discomfort at bedtime or in an awkward position, as pressure on the stomach and intestines increases.
