thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com....

well from your description, it seems like a case of indigestion but there are many others possibilities....

answer me a few questions...
what is your age and sex?
is it associated with vomiting?...if yes, how is the nature and when does it mostly happen?
is there fever or chills associated?
do you have diarrhea/constipation?
is there abdominal cramps?

answer me these questions and it will be easier for me to come to a diagnosis...

as for now, do the following-

eat light diet, avoid rich and oily food...
take tablet pantroprazole-levosulpiride combination once daily before breakfast for 7 days
take tablet decolic twice daily if there is associated abdominal pain
take pancreatic enzyme complex once daily for 7 days

your problem should resolve by then and if it does not, you can visit your PHYSICIAN.....

come back to me for any further queries....

hope this was helpful....
regards
