Many possibilities: There are many causes of abdominal pain: ulcer, gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome, appendicitis, but one of the most common is constipation. You didn't say whether bowel movements (or lack of!) have any effect on the pain. Work on stool passage (fluids, fiber, activity). Consider a mild OTC laxative and observe. Make an appointment now for eval if persists.
