123 woman stomach pain

Occasional indigestion

This causes pain in the top of the abdomen, or lower chest, and sometimes nausea. It's due to overeating, rushing meals and spicy, fatty food.

What can you do? ‘Take care not to overeat, and keep a record of foods that trigger indigestion and try to avoid them. There are good over-the-counter remedies,' says Alastair.

When to worry You could need treatment to reduce the amount of acid that your stomach makes. Severe symptoms need investigating.
