Probably doesn’t belong here but there isn’t anywhere better suited so here I am.

Anyone know why when in an indigestion flare up the pain comes in waves? It’s soooo uncomfortable borderline painful.

Just a thought, but it could be peristalsis that you are feeling. That is the wave motion of your gut pushing food through your digestive tract.
