indigestion (dyspepsia)

indigestion is a general term used to describe symptoms of stomach upset, particularly after eating. most people have indigestion from time to time.

common symptoms of indigestion include:

  • generalized abdominal pain.
  • feeling gassy (abdominal bloating).
  • belching.
  • nausea.
  • loss of appetite.

occasional indigestion is not a concern. usually home treatment is all that is needed to treat occasional indigestion. if indigestion occurs over and over, a visit to a doctor is needed.
