Abstract: | Dyspepsia is a general term that describes pain or discomfort that is centred in the upper abdomen. It reportedly affects up to 40 per cent of adults in any one year. A test and treat strategy is now recommended for all patients with uncomplicated dyspepsia. Any patient presenting with alarm features, such as recurrent vomiting or dysphagia, should be referred to a specialist for further investigation. |
