Abstract

SBU SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

Following headache and fatigue, stomach problems represent one of the most common reasons for physician visits. Dyspepsia accounts for approximately 3% of all physician visits. Dyspepsia is a general term to describe prolonged (weeks to months) pain or discomfort localized to the upper abdomen. The word dyspepsia originates from the Greek and means poor (dys) digestion (pepsia).
