I think I have a peptic ulcer and I'm only 22?

Anyone else my age had one? What'd you do for it?

Yes, I had a peptic ulcer when I was right around 22. There really is no way for you to diagnose yourself. If the symptoms are there: stomach pain, gas and possibly, but not certainly black tarry feces, you must see a physician. Even if you only suspect that you have an ulcer, make an appointment with a doctor. Peptic ulcers are famous for being asymptomatic. But they can lead to other, more life threatening conditions.

Go to the doctor.
The idea that ulcers are caused by stress has been 100% disproven, by the way, it's a bacteria that's responsible.
The point being, you have to go to the doctor to get medicine to make it go away.
There's nothing you can do on your own.
