Introduction
Virtually everyone has had indigestion at some time, and for most people it's simply a minor nuisance. For some people the symptoms can be persistent and so severe that they interfere with everyday life. The symptoms may be caused by some undiagnosed problem within the digestive system, which needs to be properly identified and treated by a doctor. The word 'indigestion' means different things to different people, but mostly it is used to describe discomfort in the central upper abdomen related in some way to eating or swallowing. Other common symptoms include;
- Pain in the chest or abdomen
- Heartburn
- Wind
