  • Belching and gas
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Acidic taste

Causes

  • A disease or an ulcer in the digestive tract might cause indigestion. However, for most people, it is the result of eating too much, eating too fast, eating high-fat foods, or eating during stressful situations.
  • Swallowing excessive air when eating may increase the symptoms of belching and bloating which are often associated with indigestion.
  • Some medications can also irritate the stomach lining and cause indigestion.
  • Being tired or stressed, smoking, or drinking too much alcohol or caffeinated beverages can cause indigestion or make it worse.
