Very likely you are: Experiencing gastroesophageal reflux disease.  This problem will definitely cause the symptoms you describe.  You should avoid alcohol, coffee and tea (including decaf), and highly seasoned foods.  Lists of foods to avoid are available in the internet.

Accepted Answer

Head and stomach: Upper abdominal pain could be anything including something in the gall bladder, the pancreas the GI tract. Pain in the head that is not related to headache is interesting. These symptoms require a call to your provider who knows you best especially if the symptoms continue or get worse. I would also be worried about pregnancy and urinary infection.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Upper abdominal pain can be from "acid" pains, such as a stomach ulcer, just gastritis with no ulcer, or reflux (heartburn).

Heart disease, rib and cartilage problems, pancreatitis, gallstones, or various cancers can cause upper abdominal pain.
