I've been having trouble with my stomach lately. There will be times when I literally feel nauseated to my stomach that I start to (you know). I don't eat so I think start having dry heaves and it'll be blood coming out. When I first sited the blood I was scared. I've never had ulcers or stomach problems before.

I don't know if it's my nerves causing this but they've been bad lately. Sometimes they get so bad that I can't eat.

I'm wondering if this is just acid reflux and nothing serious. Doctors are so freakn' expensive and I've tried stomach medicine to calm it down.

If there is blood, then you need to go to the doctor NOW!

Lots of blood then you should go immediately. Are you throwing up? Sometimes meds can irritate the lining causing bleeding, but not in large amounts. Ulcers are tough. Most I think are caused from getting certain types (helico pylori, etc.) of bacteria from other people. You will probably need to be put on antibiotics if that is what is wrong. I would make sure not to share food or drink with another person just to be sure. Hope everything goes well, but get things checked to be certain. :)
