dyspepsia
Chronic digestive discomfort
Dyspepsia is indigestion—discomfort in the upper abdomen, often accompanied by bloating, nausea, or heartburn.
The term is somewhat medical or formal; most people just say indigestion or upset stomach.
Figuratively, dyspepsia suggests a sour, irritable disposition: His dyspepsia extended beyond his stomach to his general outlook on life.
