Abdominal Pain, Nausea, Malaise, Excessive Sweating. Using Nicorette Gum. Could It Be Stomach Ulcer?
Hi, I have been using nicorette gum 4 mg for the past 2 years and recently started to break out in sweats, nausea at times, abdo pain (after eating), malaise. I feel horrible. I also suffer from diarrhoea at times and have to go to the toilet 3-4times a day. I chew quite a lot, sometimes more than 10 a day, I find it hard to stop. Could it be that I have a stomach ulcer and should I get it checked out? Should I stop drinking wine? I drink about 2-3glasses per day. I am 38years old, active, very healthy before. I am worried

Consuming alcohol is definitely a predisposing factor for acid peptic disease. Pain soon after eating points towards most likely to be due to gastric ulcer. It's advisable to get an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy done.
Wishing you a healthy life.
Take care
