Ulcer?

On Saturday(it's now Tuesday), I took 10,000mg+ of ibuprofin.I woke up later
that night at about 2am with severe stomach pain. The pain has become mild andcomes and goes. Could I have an ulcer?

Ibuprofen is HORRIBLE on your stomach, especially if you're taking that much.
Stop taking it and get to a doctor right away.

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  If you truly took 10,000 mg of ibuprofen, you need to go to the ER ASAP.  This is about 9 times the maximum dose you should take without the supervision of a doctor and about 3 times the maximum dose you should take even with the supervision of a doctor.
