Strange: I don't know what you mean by "indigestion." If you just vomited, you shouldn't be in the mood for eating anything, and there shouldn't be anything left in your stomach to "digest." Maybe you mean "upset stomach" or dyspepsia. Every time I've vomited, I've always felt much better after vomiting than before vomiting. Sometimes pink bismuth works pretty well to ease nausea or dyspepsia.

Indigestion: Would get checked out. Sometimes indigestion is caused by bacteria H pylori so need testing . Could also be food intolerances ,. gall bladder. or may be gastroenteritis. Avoid alcohol, caffeine ,smoking sodas, spicy foods Try ranitidine or prevecid. F/U w/doc rarely could be cardiac ( more in males) or ovarian and check HCG.
