Indigestion, or dyspepsia, is any pain or discomfort felt in the stomach, usually associated with difficulty in digesting food. It can be accompanied by a burning or pain in the upper stomach as well. There are many causes to indigestion, including lifestyle choices (i.e. smoking, stress, drinking too much alcohol, eating too much or too quickly), medications (i.e. pain killers, aspirin, Birth Control, etc.), and diseases (i.e. Gastroparesis, irritable bowel syndrome, GERD, etc.).
