If you are having stomach ulcer pain you should go get some omeprazole (Prilosec OTC). That's the best stuff for it, although you could get some rimantidine (the generic acid reducer you see at Walgreen's) but that's not as powerful. Take that for 6 weeks and if you still feel the pain I would go to a doctor.
Also, for the love of god, stop taking/avoid NSAIDs. That's how I originally got ulcers.
all of this. They CAN be caused by types of bacteria but odds are, it's just stress and/or NSAIDS that are doing it. omeprazole will clear it up.

Like I said, stop NSAIDs, be careful about drinking/smoking, and take omeprazole for six weeks. If it doesn't clear up then you probably have H. pylori, which means you're going to need to be put on antibiotics, which obviously requires a doctor's appointment.
ETA: and yes you can die. My ulcer perforated so I basically had a hole in my stomach shooting acid into my abdomen. I didn't even realize it was that bad... Don't let it get that bad. I was stuck in the hospital for a week on IV antibiotics after the surgery with a terrible fever.
