The community prevalence of dyspepsia ranges from 20% to 40%, and dyspepsia accounts for 3% to 5% of primary care visits. Dyspepsia symptoms include epigastric pain, epigastric burning, postprandial fullness, early satiety, epigastric bloating, nausea, and belching. Functional dyspepsia is diagnosed when an organic etiology for the symptoms is not identified. Diagnostic symptom-based criteria are defined by Rome IV. Functional dyspepsia is further subclassified into postprandial distress syndrome and epigastric pain syndrome based on the predominance of post-prandial bloating and fullness vs epigastric pain. Evaluation of functional dyspepsia is driven by patient age and the presence of red-flag symptoms, such as patients over age 60 years or those with anemia undergoing evaluation with esophagogastroduodenoscopy. infection should be excluded in all patients. Treatment options include proton pump inhibitors, neuromodulators, and prokinetics; however, the evidence supporting these therapies is weak, and the response rate is less than robust.
