Indigestion: If it lasts more than a couple of days, or withmfever, weight loss or any other alarm symptoms, see a board certified gastroenterologist.

Evaluation by doctor: This would require an evaluation by your doctor. Obviously you are having enough symptoms that are causing you to be concerned. I recommend seeing your family doctor to get evaluated. They should be able to determine if the symptoms warrant further evaluation and/or treatment.
