Dave is under a lot of stress at his job and at home. He begins to feel disconfort and a burning sensation in his abdomen following a meal. After consulting a doctor, he finds that he has developed a duodenal ulcer. He does not understand how being nervous would cause the ulcer and asks us to explan.
Best Answer: When the body or mind is under stress it can stimulate the stomach to produce more acid - after a while this eats through the mucous lining and causes an ulcer. I thought that most ulcers were caused by a bacteria - heliobacter pylorus - has he been checked for that?
