3. Going to the doctor

You should talk to your doctor and make an appointment if you notice any signs and symptoms that are similar to those that occur when you have gastritis or peptic ulcer because this bacteria is pretty strong, and if you do have it, you need to get treated as soon as possible.

And in case of symptoms that are more severe, such as the following ones, you should seek immediate medical help:

  • black tarry or bloody stools;
  • vomit that looks like coffee grounds or black or bloody vomit;
  • severe abdominal pain that might awaken you from sleep.

…Have you ever had any of these symptoms?
