A member asked:
I got ulcer pain last week. i took some over the counter drug pills "nexium". it seems to work now. do i still need to see the doctor?

YES: How do you know that you have ulcer pain? You are treating yourself without a definitive diagnosis. Have you had upper endoscopy or ultrasound? Helicobacter pylori testing. liver or pancreatic function studies, any blood work at all? See a physician for a workup.
