AB Dyspepsia  is  a  common  symptom  having  either  an  organic  or  a  functional  cause;  distinguishing  between  the  two  can  be  a  challenge.Clinical  features  of  functional  dyspepsia,  gastroesophageal  reflux  disease,  and  gastrointestinal  motility  disorders  overlap,  making  diagnosis  difficult.Most  patients  with  functional  dyspepsia  have  normal  esophagogastroduodenoscopy  (EGD)  findings.Endoscopy  is  indicated  for  patients  with  new-onset  symptoms  who  are  >55  years  of  age  or  have  alarm  features.Functional  dyspepsia  remains  a  diagnosis  of  exclusion.
