Dyspepsia
Described as discomfort, burning, pressure, and mild pain located in the upper-mid abdomen, dyspepsia is often associated with a need to belch or burp. Dyspepsia is a functional disorder that often occurs after eating. It may be caused by an overuse of anti-inflammatory, which can ulcerate the stomach.
