Brief Answer:
Acid reflux is more likely.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
The area that you are mentioning is called as Epigastrium. The epigastric pain is mostly due to acid reflux or gall bladder issues like stones in gall bladder.
So, for evaluation of Gall bladder issues you should get an Ultrasound Abdomen and if it is normal, you would need treatment for acid reflux.
Treatment of acid reflux includes a combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone and to take anti flatulent and anti acidity syrup like Digene/Gelusil for symptomatic relief.
You should take soft and bland diet.
Don't consume any alcohol, or smoking in case you do.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
