For about three months now off and on my stomach has had severe hunger pangs in the top region.. It makes me naucsious and unable to eat often for days.. I also become severely weak and have high anxiety levels.. I visited the doctor and had blood taken (all came back clear) I think I may have a stomach ulcer? Not sure what it could be exactly though.. I d like to know.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Note the history of severe hunger pangs in the top region of stomach for about 3 months, makes you nauseous and unable to eat for days. Makes you weak too and have high anxiety levels.
Blood tests normal, thinking of stomach ulcer...
My thoughts:
It is very much possible that stomach ulcer can be one of the reasons but the basic cause is usually the high level of the stress and/or anxiety that plays the major role.
Consult a Doctor and get treated for the anxiety and the stress and you will be fine.
