Important Aspects of Indigestion •Indigestion, also known as dyspepsia, is a term used to describe one or more symptoms including a feeling of fullness during a meal, uncomfortable fullness after a meal, and burning or pain in the upper abdomen. •Indigestion can be caused by a condition in the digestive tract such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, cancer, or abnormality of the pancreas or bile ducts. •Sometimes a person has indigestion for which a cause cannot be found. This type of indigestion is called functional dyspepsia. •Indigestion and heartburn are different conditions, but a person can have symptoms of both. |

upper endoscopy with biopsies to diagnose indigestion. •Some people may experience relief from indigestion by making some lifestyle changes and decreasing stress. •The doctor may prescribe antacids, H2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs), proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), prokinetics, or antibiotics to treat the symptoms of indigestion. |
