Have bloating and when i press on it feel like i could vomit but i take prescription zantac that's helps could this be due to an ulcer?

Zantac: Zantac is effective in treating hyperacidity, reflux, gastritis, and peptic ulcers. Your symptoms suggest gas buildup and zantac may be ineffective. Try avoiding gassy foods and soda and take simethicone after meals to prevent gas buildup. A gastroenterologist can evaluate and treat you if needed.

Welk: I assume when you press on it means you are pressing on your upper abdomen? Now the best thing to do is to see a doctor for exam and diagnosis. Start there
