What is chronic indigestion?
Chronic indigestion is a condition that is diagnosed when people have indigestion for at least a week out of every month, for several months consecutively. It has a variety of causes, many of them curable by making changes in behavior and eating habits. There are illness-based causes of this condition also, and this is why it makes sense to seek physician assistance if a person is experiencing chronic forms of indigestion. Doctors can look at symptoms and determine if there is a potential underlying illness or they can help patients make the changes needed to help increase symptom-free days.
