Answer 1

Abdominal bloating is when the abdomen feels full and tight.

Indigestion is a vague feeling of abdominal discomfort -

Heartburn is a burning feeling in the lower chest, along with a sour or bitter taste in the throat and mouth

A migraine headache can cause pain, nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound.
Migraine headaches are usually characterized by severe pain on one or both sides of the head and are often accompanied by photophobia (hypersensitivity to light), phonophobia (hypersensitivity to sound) and nausea. The word migraine is French in origin and comes from the Greek hemicrania (as does the Old English term megrim). Literally, hemicrania means "only half the head."

Answer 2

bloating is water retention. you feel puffy or bloated. swelling due to water retention.indegestion and heartburn related. heartburn is that bitter sour taste or liquid that you experience in your mouth caused by indegestion. indegestion is when your food isnt digesting well . as a result you get heartburn which i already explained what that is. migrain is a very bad headache. some things that aggravate a migraine are sounds, light, movement. it is the worst headaches of headaches. youll know when you have one. i am a nurse so what i am telling you is the truth. hope it helps.

Answer 3

bloating is when your body holds back water like during your period,,your jeans are tighter than normal,,,,,,indegestion is when your stomach just doesn't feel right..like you've eaten something bad and you're going to throw up and you burp alot. ...heartburn comes from too much spicy or greasy foods and there's a discomfort ( pain) in the middle of the chest.people think they're having a heart attack when they feel it,,,and a migrain puts you in bed for a couple of days.plus you can have nausea with it and its really worst than a normal headache..you can't function during one....hope i've explained them good enough for you....

Answer 4

bloating is when you havnt gained weight but you feel really fat like you swell up or feel inflated, heartburn is a burning in the throat or chest area that happens when you usually eat really spicy or sour foods most of the time. Indigestion is simply when you have difficulty digesting your food. and migrain is a severe headache, usually affecting only one side of the head, that is characterized by sharp pain and is often accompanied by nausea.

thanks dahc for a good laugh LOL

Answer 5

a migrane is more like this: you cant usually stand the light,you may vomit or feel like you want to,can last for more then a day or so. heartburn and indigestion i think you would know. its a burning sensation in the chest area sometimes a liquid will even back up into your throat and if it happens alot or at night and it burns the back of your throat thats acid reflux. bloating is where your stomach feels extra full and misserable feeling like you just ate a buffet or two good luck hope this helps you better.

Answer 6
