The red flag for dyspepsia are dysphagia, iron deficiency anemia, other nutritional anemia, abnormal weight loss, anorexia, early satiety, personal or family history of cancer of the digestive system, and development of peptic ulcer disease in the previous 12 months.
Symptoms of functional dyspepsia may include pain or burning in the stomach, bloating, excessive belching, or nausea after eating.
An early feeling of fullness when eating.
The feeling of fullness also is called satiety.
Dyspepsia is the medical term for indigestion and is the discomfort or pain in the upper abdomen, often after eating or drinking.
Dyspepsia is not a disease but a symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other conditions.
Alarming symptoms of dyspepsia are vomiting, bleeding or anemia, abdominal mass or unintended weight loss, and dysphagia (acronym: VBAD)
The things that aggravates dyspepsia are food items such as pickles, sausages, vinegar, bologna, tea, grains, soft drinks, red pepper, pasta, pizza, and salty foods aggravate symptoms of indigestion.
Conditions that can be mistaken for dyspepsia include.
Aerophagy (repetitive belching from air swallowing)
Biliary colic from gall stones.
Abdominal wall pain (a clinical clue is localized tenderness on palpation not reduced by tensing the abdominal wall muscles)
Indigestion — also called dyspepsia or an upset stomach — is discomfort in your upper abdomen.
Indigestion describes certain symptoms, such as belly pain and a feeling of fullness soon after you start eating, rather than a specific disease.
Drinking water can help dyspepsia.
Drinking water may help ease some of your symptoms.
Small sips of water can help food move through your digestive system faster and dilute your stomach acid.
Water may also wash acid back down your esophagus if you have acid reflux.
