Indigestion, medically known as dyspepsia, refers to a feeling of fullness during a meal, uncomfortable fullness after a meal, and burning or pain in the upper abdomen. It is often an indicator of other gastrointestinal diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, malignancy, or diseases of the pancreas or bile ducts. Functional dyspepsia is a term used to describe a condition in which no cause can be found for the symptoms of indigestion. Indigestion is not the same as heartburn, though the two conditions can coexist. Your doctor can suggest lifestyle changes, stress management tips, and prescribe medications to treat indigestion
