What Causes Burning Sensation In Stomach?
My stomach feels as if there is gas/slight burning sensation; this morning (4am) I had the dry heaves and the past 2 months this has occurred maybe twice; twice over the past months my stools were dark. Usually now I go #2 about once every 3 days. My age is 72.

Welcome to Health Care Magic. Thank you for posting your question. I can understand your concern.
I would suggest you to get a blood haemoglobin , an abdominal ultrasound and a stool examination done.
I would start Tablet Pantoprazole on an empty stomach daily for 2 weeks.
Visit a doctor . He/she can examine and correlate clinically.
Hope this helps.
Reply with thanks.
Have a nice day.
