Dear Mr XXXXXXX
Pain on touching or pain elicited by pressure is known as Tenderness. As you are experiencing tenderness in upper abdomen it's likely to be due to Acid peptic disease. Following could be the predisposing factors
1. Irregular intake of meals
2. Increased consumption of alcohol /ccaffeinated / carbonated beverages
3. Stress and anxiety
I would suggest you the following which will be helpful
1. Ensure intake of meals at right time. Avoid skipping meals
2. Antacid like Pantoprozole tablet will be helpful
3. Liquid antacid will help
4. Avoid carbonated / alcohol / caffeinated beverage

Dear Mr XXXXXXX
Along with acid peptic disease there could be musculoskeletal pain in view of change of pain with posture and position. Apart from previous advise, I would suggest you the following
1. Hot water fomentation : Either by using cloth soaked in hot water or using hot water bag. Apply if for few seconds every time for 10 to 15 minutes
2. Analgesic like Ibuprofen will help relieve pain
