Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Here indigestion seems to be restrosternal burning that is heartburn and may be gases as you have not specified the exact symptoms.
Well, as per the short history you have provided I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Get an upper GI Endoscopy and tests of stool, blood and urine.
Tests of blood may include tests for thyroid, liver and pancreas function.
Ultrasonography and CT scan of abdomen may help further.
An opinion of a Gastroenterologist must be sought after as you have been suffering for about a year which is a long time to suffer.
Control of stress and anxiety is very important.
No late nights.
Space the foods to 4 times a day and has to be soft and bland.
You may need a course of a PPI like Pantoprazole,, motility regulator like Domperidone and antacids on empty stomach.
All these will help you to get a cure.
I find this answer helpful
