Stress Ulcer Symptoms and Treatment
Stress ulcers typically occur in the gastrointestinal tract of people treated or hospitalized for a serious health issue, such as a heart attack or traumatic brain injury.12 The physical stress of illness is what leads to these open sores in the stomach lining or esophagus, though mental or emotional stress, like anxiety, can occur due to the symptoms of ulcers.
