Hello!

Thank you for the query.

If your pain is located in the upper middle abdomen, your symptoms may be caused by acid reflux disease, peptic ulcer, stomach inflammation. Nausea and chest burning can be also present.
If your pain is more in the right upper abdomen and occasionally radiates to the back, gallstones can be the reason. Pancreas inflammation is also possible.

I suggest you to visit your doctor, have blood work, liver tests, urine analysis, abdominal ultrasound and gastroscopy.

In a meanwhile please avoid fatty foods, spicy foods, fried foods, alcohol and coffee.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
