When you’re dealing with the pain caused by a stomach ulcer, you might shudder at the mere thought of lying down to sleep. Stomach ulcers occur when the stomach's protective lining is weakened, usually due to excessive NSAID pain reliever use or an H. pylori infection, which allows your stomach acid to cause tissue damage. Fortunately, most ulcers can be healed with a combination of doctor-directed and at-home treatments, so stop suffering and get sleeping!
