Can these be signs of an ulcer?

A few minutes after eating - get a full feeling, yet a gnawing hunger feeling at the same time. Followed by nausea & possible vomiting. These feelings can be relieved sometimes by lying down on left side. If laying on back - it feels like gravity is pulling stomach toward back and makes nausea worse.

Doctor has ran all tests everything comes back normal. They say it's nerves.

Has anyone else ever experienced these symptoms?

What tests has your dr. run? My Grandmother had ulcers and she would have pain in between her ribs and vomiting. I have chronic gastritis and acid reflux(diagnosed through an endoscopy) and have all the same symtoms except the vomiting (although have came close a few times!)

About 80% of ulcers are caused by H Pylori bacteria infection. Has your Doctor tested you for this type of infection?

I agree, my Grandmother's ulcers were caused by that bacteria and she had to take 2 antibiotics and a PPI to get rid of it. Sorry forgot to mention that in my other post!
