Most stomach pain is temporary, but some signs warrant a closer look. Explore 10 common symptoms and what they may signal.
Stomach pain through indigestion (dyspepsia) is considered upper abdominal pain, but the pain in the body can also at times be felt in the back. Indigestion is when the small part of the intestine, the stomach and at times, the esophagus, cannot function normally. Symptoms of pain, nausea, bloating and burping will come and go periodically over a long period and fluctuate in intensity. Specific foods can trigger indigestion; it is usually caused by an underlying condition such as ulcers, gallbladder disease or other gastroesophageal diseases.
