Hey guys,
I am pretty convinced I have a stomach ulcer (not acid reflux or heartburn symptoms, just persistent sour stomach). Anyways, my concern is that since I am kind of limited to seeing a family practice MD or NP for now, what is the best way to make them understand that this is not acid reflux or heartburn? And are invasive procedures really necessary to diagnose a peptic ulcer?
Thanks!
