As for the symptoms, the main symptom of the disease is pain in the upper abdomen. Discomfort, as a rule, occurs on an empty stomach sutra, sometimes cramps between meals are possible. Pain syndrome can wake a person even at night, and only medication or a small snack can smooth out the aggression of gastric juice. The pain goes away within 20 minutes if action is taken to relieve it. Sometimes the patient is worried about the feeling of constant nausea, decreased appetite, heartburn, a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen.
