Seeking Medical Advice

You should seek medical advice if:-

  • your symptoms persist
  • you have trouble swallowing
  • you have suddenly lost a lot of weight
  • you notice any blood in your vomit
  • you pass black "tarry" stools

You should seek medical advice if new symptoms of indigestion, which are persistent and recurrent, occur, particularly if you are over the age of 45. This could be a sign of an underlying condition which you should consult your doctor about.
