What Causes Constant Stomach Upset?
I have been sufering with constant upset stomach and am worried that I have developed an ulcer. There is no pain, just a constant pressure in my stomach and on my bowels. I is worst after I eat at break from work and then try and work at the fast pace I have to. I think it is just stress but am not sure.

Hi
Welcome and thanks for posting your query on HCM.
I appreciate your concern towards the stomach upset.
The problems mentioned in your query are suggestive of acidity related stomach disease, it could be an ulcer also which needs to be confirmed.
This problem gets aggravated by stress, taking excessive coffee, NSAID pain killers, and hot and spicy foods.
Take a course of PPI drug ( one tablet one hour before the breakfast once daily) for about 4 - 6 weeks. Have a normal pattern for your meals like breakfast, lunch and a dinner. Avoid snacks in between, try to avoid job related stress, have a daily evening walk, eat early and sleep early. Avoid alcohol if you consume it.
If there is no improvement with the PPI, you should visit your doctor for evaluation may be you need an endoscopy or urea breath test to detect the possible causes of stomach upset.
Hope these suggestions could be helpful to you in getting rid of stomach upset.
Kindly rate the answer, if you are convinced.
Best regards
