What’s Causing Your Abdominal Pain – Facts to Know

Indigestion

Indigestion or dyspepsia causes a burning sensation in the upper abdomen, and sometimes in the throat or mouth. The pain might also feel like it comes from your chest area. This condition often occurs when acid builds up too much in your stomach after having a meal with too many acidic foods or drinks. In addition to pain, frequent indigestion can also trigger acid reflux or stomach ulcers. Some OTC drugs can help you relieve common symptoms. Also, make sure to make some changes in your diet and eating habits to reduce the risk. [9]
