Dyspepsia: Understanding Indigestion
Dyspepsia, commonly known as indigestion, causes discomfort in the upper abdomen and may include burning, pain, early fullness, bloating, nausea, or belching. Symptoms can be linked to functional dyspepsia, H. pylori infection, ulcers, reflux, certain medicines, food triggers, or stress. Eating smaller meals, avoiding personal triggers, staying active, and managing stress may help. Persistent or recurrent symptoms should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
