7 common symptoms of stomach cancer

Here are 7 signs and symptoms to watch out for:

Indigestion or Heartburn:  Persistent indigestion or heartburn that doesn't respond to over-the-counter medications could be a red flag.

Discomfort or Pain in the Abdomen:  A vague feeling of discomfort or a dull ache in your upper abdomen, especially above the navel, can be a symptom.

Feeling Bloated After Eating:  Feeling full or bloated even after eating a small amount can be indicative of stomach cancer.

Nausea and Vomiting:  Persistent nausea and vomiting, especially if there's blood in the vomit, can be a cause for concern.

Loss of Appetite:  An unexplained loss of appetite that leads to weight loss can be a symptom of stomach cancer.

Difficulty Swallowing:  This symptom is more common in advanced stages but can also occur in some cases.

Unexplained Weight Loss:  Losing weight unintentionally, especially if you haven't changed your diet or exercise routine, can be a warning sign.
