Indigestion is a broad term for discomfort in the upper abdomen and can result from irritation or inflammation in the stomach.
While it can be a symptom of stomach cancer, it’s far more often linked to everyday causes like overeating or eating too quickly. Still, frequent or persistent indigestion — especially when paired with other symptoms — should be checked by a doctor.
