Dr. Hiroshi Mashimo answered

Specializes in Gastroenterology

Gastroenterologist: Many things may cause this "dyspepsia" such as gastritis/ulcers, gall bladder disease, inflammation, and delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis). You should start with seeing your local gastroenterologist to review your symptoms, history, and medications, and to be examined to determine treatable causes.
