HEARTBURN & INDIGESTION


HEARTBURN, INDIGESTION AND SYMPTOMS

Indigestion is often a sign of an underlying problem, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers, or gallbladder disease, rather than a condition of its own. Any treatment you get will depend on what the cause is.

  • Belching and gas
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • An acidic taste in your mouth
  • Fullness during or after a meal
  • Growling stomach
  • Burning in your stomach or upper belly
  • Belly pain
