Dyspepsia has many causes.
Also, anxiety can increase a person's perception of unpleasant sensations, so that minor discomfort becomes very distressing. Other symptoms include a poor appetite, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and flatulence. Often a person with dyspepsia is treated without having laboratory tests done. When tests are done, they fail to identify any abnormality in about 50 percent of those with dyspepsia. Even when abnormalities are found, they often don't account for all the symptoms.
