Indigestion
Indigestion is a burning feeling that occurs in the upper stomach, and in some cases in the mouth or throat. In some cases, the pain may feel like it starts from the chest. Indigestion is clinically referred to as dyspepsia. It occurs when there is excess acid in the stomach, which may occur after eating foods with high acid content.
In rare cases, indigestion can be caused by a stomach ulcer, acid reflux, or stomach cancer. Frequent indigestion may be accompanied by severe pain and unintended weight loss. You can take over-the-counter drugs to manage temporary indigestion. It is important to identify what causes your indigestion if you want to effectively treat it. You can also contact your healthcare provider if you frequently experience indigestion.
