Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Indigestion can have many reasons. Your symptoms seems to be caused by gallstones. Upper right abdominal pain is quite characteristic for this issue. Other typical symptoms are pain radiating to the back, nausea and vomiting, loose stool.
If the pain is strong or there is white stool and dark urine, please visit ER.
Otherwise, you should visit your regular doctor and have abdominal ultrasound.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
