Indigestion is a common sign of digestive tract problem that affects almost everyone.

Indigestion can generally be defined as a discomfort in your upper abdomen. i.e a pain between the bottom of your chest and the navel.

Indigestion is a sign of underlying health conditions. Often times, indigestion and heartburn occur at the same time.

*Heartburn is the sensational burning that occurs deep inside the chest which is different from indigestion and also a sign of different health conditions.*
