Gas and bloating issues

2026-08-15 11:51:34
I have been experiencing symptoms similar to dyspepsia since childhood, but they have become significantly worse over the last two years. I frequently have gas, bloating, upper abdominal discomfort, belching, and a feeling of fullness after eating. I also experience constipation, weakness, and headaches. My gastrointestinal symptoms tend to become noticeably worse when I am under stress. What should I do?
