Presentation
Dyspepsia and epigastric pain are common presenting symptoms of patients with either hookworm infection or peptic ulcer disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This can also cause indigestion and pain will usually be present as well. [healthhype.com]
Many patients respond well to explanation and reassurance that there is no serious underlying disease present. [ddc.musc.edu]

The prevalence varied according to country (from 1.8% to 57.0%) and criteria used to define dyspepsia. [dx.doi.org]
Abstract In up to 80% of dyspepsia patients who consult a physician in the hospital, dyspepsia is considered to be functional dyspepsia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Nausea
Symptoms are similar to GERD – heartburn, nausea, chest pain,excessive belching. [healthhype.com]
The symptoms include discomfort in the upper abdomen, heartburn, a tendency to belching, nausea or a sense of bloated fullness (flatulence). [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Further down in the stomach, a surface reaction results in upper-middle abdominal pain and nausea; sometimes nausea and even vomiting are triggered. [nutramed.com]
- Abdominal Pain
However, there was a greater reduction in abdominal pain/discomfort (8.8% vs 5.0%, P CONCLUSIONS: The use of GPA in patients on regular NSAIDs does not improve their overall dyspepsia, but it reduces abdominal pain and burping. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The gastroenterologists at the AMITA Health Digestive Health Institute understand your concerns and will work with you to treat your pain and discomfort. Our experts have treated countless routine cases of abdominal pain and indigestion. [amitahealth.org]
Common symptoms include abdominal pain (particularly left upper quadrant or LUQ abdominal pain ), nausea, excessive belching and bloating. [healthhype.com]
Definition Dyspepsia or "indigestion" is very broadly defined as recurrent upper abdominal pain, with or without bloating, nausea and vomiting. [apps.nhslothian.scot]
But the theory remains under consideration, as does the possibility that the abdominal pain associated with FD results from acid leaking through the gastric or duodenal mucosa, which has been altered in some way. [sharecare.com]
- Regurgitation
There is consensus that heartburn and regurgitation are the cardinal symptoms of GERD if either or both are the only symptoms the patient complains of or are the dominant symptom.[1,2] There has been discussion about whether heartburn and regurgitation [medscape.com]
A variety of definitions have been proposed, but a reasonable working definition for the primary care doctor is epigastric pain or discomfort for at least three months, in a patient who does not report predominant heartburn or regurgitation (although [doi.org]

Pathophysiology
Knowledge on pathophysiology of dyspepsia have been developing continuously since a scientific investigation has been started in 1980's, which considers Helicobacter pylori as one of key factor in managing dyspepsia, either it is associated with ulcer [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Frustratingly, symptoms of FD do not consistently predict underlying pathophysiology and do not reliably guide therapy. [healio.com]
Most studies of pathophysiology continue to focus on gastric sensory and motor functions, though some intriguing early data raise the possibility of an infective or immunological contribution. [journals.lww.com]
