1. Dull Pain in the Stomach. A feeling of discomfort in the area between your ribs and the navel may be felt if you have an ulcer.

Symptoms of ulcers in the upper small intestine (duodenal ulcers) and in the stomach (gastric ulcers) are similar, except for when pain occurs. 1  Pain from a duodenal ulcer may occur several hours after you eat (when the stomach is empty) and may improve after you eat. Pain also may wake you in the middle of the night. Pain from a gastric ulcer may occur shortly after you eat (when food is still in your stomach).
