I am in my 60's and never had this problem before. Worried it may be the sign of some serious problem

When you refer to "indigestion", I am assuming there is some pain involved. Based on your age, it would be a good idea to talk to your doctor. It is probably nothing serious, but too often patients think they are having indigestion when it is really a heart-related issue. I don't want to scare you, but you need to take this symptom seriously. If you are short of breath, have pain in your left arm, chest or upper back, have nausea and/or weakenss and fatigue, please go to the Emergency Room. Otherwise, if you do not have any of these symptoms, place a call to your doctor right away and see if they can squeeze you in right away. It may simply be acid reflux or maybe even your gallbladder, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Good luck.

You have really got to get yourself to your doctor, the sooner the better!
This COULD be a sign of heart problems.....I've seen it happen before, so called 'indigestion' gets ignored then that person goes on to become very ill.
It happened to my mum, she just assumed it was nothing.
I hope it IS nothing, but I can't emphasise enough the importance of getting yourself checked out now.
Best wishes.

Most people deal with indigestion at sometime. Try otc meds and watch your diet if symptoms increase or worsen then see a doctor regarding hernia or ulcer

INDIGESTION:
Take 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar if you get heartburn or indigestion after eating.
Drink a full glass of pure water to quiet heartburn.
Eat a teaspoonful of peanut butter if you have heartburn to make it go away.
Eat a banana to get rid of indigestion.

could be nothing, but as others have said, could be Heart or some other cause, if its worse on exertion or in any case see GP today, before you close the question!
