Nervous Indigestion

Nervous indigestion, also called functional dyspepsia, describes digestive discomfort in the upper abdomen that is related to stress, anxiety, or emotional state, without any evident injury in the digestive tract. The connection between the digestive system and emotions explains much of these symptoms.

Common symptoms: A sensation of fullness, burning or discomfort in the pit of the stomach, bloating, belching, or nausea, which usually appear or worsen during times of tension.

When should you see a doctor? If the discomfort is recurrent, interferes with meals, or is accompanied by other symptoms, it is worth a checkup.

Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist evaluates the digestive tract to rule out other causes of nervous indigestion, and the general practitioner can offer initial guidance. Consulting in time helps to better manage this discomfort.
