Have Abdomen Pain. Suffering From Indigestion. Suggest

Hi I have had upper abdomen pain for about the past 10 days. It started on Saturday a week ago when I woke up in the middle of the night thinking it was just gas. I took something for it but made no difference. It then eased a bit but is still there all the time just like indigestion. It does get more sore when I eat. It is more of an uncomfortable feeling and can be more sore sometimes.

Hello, Thanks for posting your query, Because indigestion is a symptom rather than a disease, treatment usually depends upon the underlying condition causing the indigestion.

Often, episodes of indigestion go away within hours without medical attention. However, if your indigestion symptoms become worse, you should consult a doctor. Here are some helpful tips to alleviate indigestion:

Try not to chew with your mouth open, talk while chewing, or eat too fast. This causes you to swallow too much air, which can aggravate indigestion.
Drink fluids after rather than during meals.
Avoid late-night eating.
Try to relax after meals.
Avoid spicy foods.
Stop smoking.
Avoid alcoholic beverages.
If indigestion is not relieved after making these changes, your doctor may prescribe medications to alleviate your symptoms.
Regards,Dr.Sharmila
