Indigestion (Dyspepsia) Definition and Facts. Indigestion is a general term that describes a group of gastrointestinal symptoms that occur together, including pain, a burning feeling, or discomfort in your upper abdomen; feeling full too soon while eating; and feeling uncomfortably full after eating.
Acid reflux, also known as heartburn, is the most frequent cause of indigestion in the UK. It happens when the valve at the lower end of the oesophagus is abnormally relaxed and allows the stomach's acidic contents to flow back or 'reflux' into the gullet.
