5. Complications

People with pangastritis should seek emergency care if chest pain starts suddenly, worsens, or spreads to the back, neck, shoulders, or arms. Intense stomach pain that moves to the lower-right area of the abdomen and frequent vomiting are emergencies as well. Other symptoms that require immediate medical attention are difficulty breathing or swallowing, confusion, rapid heartbeat, extreme drowsiness or difficulty waking up, fainting, and blood in vomit or stool. Blood in stool looks black and tarry, while blood in vomit looks like coffee grounds.
