See a doctor: Abdominal pain can be caused by way too many things to advise you on what to do for your present condition. You need to see your doctor who will take a complete history and perform a physical exam before recommending any diagnostic and/or treatment plans.

Get evaluated: AAA (abdominal aortic aneurysm) can present with a surprising variety of symptoms, but often is symptom free. The intermittency of your distress with predictable resolution of discomfort after flares is good news. Alarm signs & symptoms include: weight loss or gain (ascites), intestinal angina, claudication, dropping renal function. Time to see a doctor for reassurance--get at least an ultrasound.

Seek medical care: No way to answer what is causing your specific symptoms without more details and a physical exam or perhaps even lab tests, but abdominal pain can be serious and a person with this should discuss with a health care provider. Specific diagnosis depends on details from history, physical exam and potentially lab tests or xrays.
