I have evaluated your query thoroughly .
* Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor having effect on acid level
regulation , controlling burning sensation and pain in relation to that .
It has no effect on indigestion .
* For indigestion , you should prefer prokinetic agents , digestive enzymes
probiotics and high fiber diet with plenty of liquids .
Hope this will help you .
Welcome for any further doubts .
Thanks regards .
