Hi
With a past history of heartburn, the most probable cause of your problem is gastrooesophageal reflux disease or Gastritis.It pains in the upper abdomen as you have described and radiates at times to the back,neck and shoulder blades.Other possible etiologies have already been excluded from your test results. Avoid much protein rich meals, peper and much green spices, sleeping at least 2 hours after last meal may help reduce severity.An anti-secretory like omeprazole can also help reduce severity of pain.
