Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Hi.
The stress and the anxiety itself increase the acidity and gastrointestinal symptoms.
The best and the most simple way to get a proper diagnosis is not by discussion or assumptions particularly when there is a family history of Stomach Cancer.
Simply get the Upper GI Endoscopy , Biopsy and CT scan of the abdomen to confirm or rule out the presence of stomach cancer.
Yet for the sake of discussions : the earlier symptoms are rarely or never present in stomach cancer hence these are always detected late. It can present as you rightly say GI bleed, filling full on meals, regurgitation, bloating of upper abdomen and so on.
