I had 6 ulcers when i was young, as so the doctor said. This was the very first time i got sick or experienced the CVS symptoms/pain. however, the doctor did not know what was going on at the time and/or CVS/CHS was not recognized fully yet at hospitals or by doctors. , I was hospitalized for 2 weeks, in which they did an endoscopy and said i had 6 ulcers. but years later a Gastroenterology doctor did a colonoscopy and endoscopy and said there were no ulcers. Maybe they healed, maybe i never had them and the doctor just told me and my family that as an excuse/answer to what was happening to me.
