These can also aid in giving you stomache problems. You will need to see your doctor so they can treat your new symptoms before they become serious. That is definately something to go to your Dr. for right away. Good luck and feel better soon!

Whether you think you have time or not, you need to see your doctor this week. Ulcers can become quite serious if they're not treated.
