Symptoms

What is Dyspepsia?

Dyspepsia, also known as indigestion or an upset stomach, causes discomfort in your upper belly. You may feel pain, pressure, or an ongoing full sensation after eating. Symptoms can last days, weeks, or even longer. Early recognition and simple, safe care can help you feel better.

Common Symptoms

Signs of dyspepsia vary but often include:

  • Feeling full after eating a small amount
  • Bloating or frequent burping
  • Mild pain or pressure in the upper abdomen
  • Nausea without vomiting
  • General discomfort after meals

Causes

Dyspepsia can stem from many factors, and sometimes no clear cause is found. Common triggers are:

  • Stress or anxiety
  • Spicy, greasy, or strongly flavored foods
  • Acid reflux or H. pylori stomach infection
  • Frequent use of pain relievers (aspirin, ibuprofen)
  • Less common stomach disorders
Treatment

Treatment Options for Dyspepsia in Jersey Village

Treatment includes lifestyle changes and medical care:

  • Small, frequent meals: Eating smaller portions 5-6 times a day to reduce stomach overwork.
  • Dietary adjustments: Avoiding spicy, greasy, acidic, or trigger foods to minimize irritation.
  • Antacids: Over-the-counter neutralizers for quick relief of excess acid and heartburn.
  • Acid-reducing medications: H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to decrease acid production.
  • Prokinetic agents: Prescription meds that speed gastric emptying and relieve bloating.
  • Stress management: Techniques such as mindfulness, breathing exercises, or counseling to curb stress-induced symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can anxiety cause dyspepsia?

Yes. Worry and stress can upset your stomach's normal function and trigger or worsen dyspepsia symptoms.

Is apple cider vinegar helpful for dyspepsia?

Some people find relief with apple cider vinegar, but it can aggravate symptoms in others. Always consult your doctor before trying it.

What are the ICD-10 codes for dyspepsia?

R10.13 is used for general dyspepsia, while K30 denotes functional dyspepsia.

Can dyspepsia make me feel dizzy?

Yes. Persistent nausea or decreased food intake can lead to low blood sugar, which may cause dizziness.

What helps with functional dyspepsia?

Managing your diet, taking acid-reducing medications, and reducing stress often help relieve functional dyspepsia.

Is dyspepsia the same as gastroparesis?

No. Gastroparesis involves delayed stomach emptying and often leads to more severe bloating and vomiting, whereas dyspepsia is general indigestion.

What are the signs of functional dyspepsia?

You may experience early fullness during meals, mild upper abdominal pain or pressure, and intermittent nausea.

When should I see a doctor for dyspepsia?

Schedule an appointment if symptoms persist for more than two weeks, if you experience unintentional weight loss, or if you have severe pain.

How long does dyspepsia treatment take?

Many patients notice improvement within a few weeks of starting treatment, though some may require longer therapy to feel fully better.
