Sometimes, dyspepsia is a more sudden, noticeable (acute) sensation. Depending on the cause of the dyspepsia, people may have other symptoms such as a poor appetite, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, and belching. For some people, eating makes symptoms worse. For others, eating relieves symptoms.
An X-ray machine is essentially a camera. Instead of visible light, however, it uses X-rays to expose the film. X-rays are like light in that they are electromagnetic waves, but they are more energetic so they can penetrate many materials to varying degrees.
X-rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes radio waves, microwaves, and visible light. They have an extremely short wavelength or high frequency, thus giving them high energy. X-rays can penetrate most materials except lead shielding. They are used in medicine and industry to examine structural problems.
