Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Possible causes of indigestion may include:
• Overeating or eating too quickly
• Fatty, greasy or spicy foods
• Too much caffeine, alcohol, chocolate, or carbonated beverages
• Smoking
• Anxiety
• Certain antibiotics, pain relievers, and iron supplements
• Digestive conditions like gastritis, peptic ulcers,
celiac disease, gallstones,
constipation,
pancreatitis,
stomach cancer, intestinal blockage
The following may help you feel better:
• Avoiding foods that trigger indigestion.
• Eating 5 or 6 small meals a day instead of 3 large meals.
• Reducing or eliminating the use of alcohol and caffeine.
• Avoiding certain pain relievers, NSAIDs.
• Controlling stress and anxiety.
• If feeling of acid reflux, take a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole.
• If
stomach cramps are serious, an anti-spasmodic pain drug like Spasfon may help.
• If symptoms persist after all these, you see the doctor for examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
