Discussion: Overview

This section will allow you ask questions, pass along tips or discuss any issues related to your symptoms. Overview mydyspepsia.com is designed to be a patient information and support resource and is also part of a research project aimed at assessing the information needs and well-being of those with symptoms of dyspepsia and GERD, including pain in the upper abdomen, acid regurgitation, heartburn, increased burping and bloating, nausea or feeling full too soon. For some, these symptoms can be so severe that they limit an individual's ability to participate in and enjoy the activities of daily life. Persistent symptoms can cause concern and may require extensive investigation. This discussion board is designed to serve a dual purpose. First, its goal is to provide a forum to discuss the issues that are important to those with the symptoms of dyspepsia and GERD. This may range from discussions of the experience of getting diagnosed to treatment options. Second, message board postings will be reviewed as part of the qualitative assessment of patient concerns and health care choices. For a further discussion of this goal please review the purpose section of this site. Feel free to review all posted messages without registering.
