Dyspepsia, also popularly known as indigestion or upset stomach, is a set of digestive symptoms that mainly affect the organs of the upper digestive tract. The most frequent include localised pain or discomfort in the upper and mid abdomen, a feeling of excessive fullness after a meal, feeling full too early during eating, abdominal bloating, nausea and vomiting. The symptoms are typically linked to eating and may be continuous or intermittent.<\/p>\n

If no organic cause is found to justify dyspepsia, it\u2019s referred to as functional or essential dyspepsia<\/strong>. If on the contrary some sort of pathology is found from test results, it\u2019s referred to as organic dyspepsia<\/strong>. The most frequent kind of dyspepsia by far is essential or functional, as it’s estimated that between 20-30% of the population has reported dyspeptic symptoms in the last 6 months.<\/p>\n

The test par excellence for dyspepsia is gastroscopy, although an abdominal ultrasound also provides a great deal of information.<\/p>\n

Most patients don’t go to the doctor and self-medicate, although this is a serious mistake, as it should be the doctor who carries out an examination and then decides whether treatment is appropriate or not. The doctor may decide to begin a series of examinations and diagnostic tests to find out which type of dyspepsia the patient is presenting and whether there is cause for concern.<\/p>\n

The most effective treatments include proton pump inhibitor drugs, known as PPIs (omeprazol and similar) and prokinetics.<\/p>\n
