Q. What is indigestion?

Indigestion, also known as dyspepsia, is simply defined as pain or discomfort which is centered in the upper abdomen. Indigestion can make you feel full too soon while eating and can cause abdominal pain, burning sensation in the stomach, discomfort in the upper abdomen,  excessive bloating or belching, nausea, and even vomiting.

Q. What causes indigestion?

Indigestion can be caused due to improper eating habits or a chronic digestive problem. Some of the common causes of indigestion include poor eating habits like overeating, eating too fast, or eating foods that are too spicy, sour and oily. It can also be a result of other lifestyle habits like going to bed immediately after meals. Certain diseases such as GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), peptic ulcers, gallstones, functional dyspepsia, etc., and medications such as aspirin and painkillers like NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory diseases) can cause indigestion too.

Q. When to go to a doctor for indigestion?

You should consult a doctor if you suffer from chronic indigestion or if you fail to manage the condition at home through home remedies or over-the-counter medication. This is because, if left untreated, it can lead to worsening of the symptoms and may even interfere with your quality of life. You should see a doctor immediately if you experience symptoms such as severe vomiting, bloody vomit, black stools, or trouble swallowing along with indigestion.
