Punched In The Stomach Feeling, Severe Flushing, Sweating, Feels Dizzy. Ulcer?
My 19 year old nephew (who weighs about 160 pounds if that - he s very thin) will get a feeling like he s been punched in the stomach followed by severe flushing and sweating and then gets really dizzy and has to lay down. It doesn t matter what he s doing, working (he runs a weed eater) or eating - it happened last night at dinner and I witnessed it myself. Could he have an ulcer? He doesn t eat right and drinks a lot of products with caffeine and sugar .

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
these are signs of ulcer disease and he should do gastroscopy to rule this out.it can also be some other digestional issue or hormonal active tumors of intestinal tract. so he should have antiacid diet and visit gastroenterologist.
Wish you good health. Regards
