Functional dyspepsia is also known as indigestion and affects about 15% of the population. It is commonly caused by the muscles in the gastrointestinal tract or the nerves not functioning properly. Some common causes that can lead to discomfort are overeating, people that travel a lot and eat different cuisines, and going to bed right after eating a meal.
