GP says not an ulcer, he felt my stomach and said if he had touched where an ulcer was I would have jumped off the couch and screamed in pain. So that is excellent news.

I have a hiatal hernia, and for years I thought it was an ulcer. Countless times of puking up coffee grounds coloured bile, constant heartburn, GERD, tightness in the chest etc but it took a endoscopy to be diagnosed with the hernia. Sounds like it could be a possibility. I now take double doses of Omeprezole and careful of what I eat seems to help a lot.
