Indigestion is a general term for discomfort or pain in the upper abdomen. Indigestion can be caused by various factors, including overeating, eating too quickly, consuming fatty or spicy foods, stress, or underlying health conditions. While it’s usually not serious, chronic indigestion may require medical evaluation to rule out more serious issues. Lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications can often help relieve symptoms.
