Hello
Upper abdominal pain may be due to many reasons like acid reflux,gall bladder calculus,pancreatitis etc.
You need proper clinical evaluation and investigations.Basic investigations are routine hemogram,serum lipase,random blood sugar,liver function test,renal function test and ultrasound of abdomen.
Upper GI endoscopy can be done if needed.
Ultrasound of abdomen can exclude many possibilities.CT scan of abdomen can be done if needed.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon.
