Hard to say: Time specific symptoms can relate to activity changes.Does a busy day distract you from pain you would feel, but the evening/night make you more aware ? Does this amplify when lying down or after consuming the evening meal ?Is it stomach or chest wall ? Do you occasionally burp up some of your meal ? This could be reflux related.If antacids help, you may want to see your doc for exam/treatment.

Upper abdomen: Symptoms likely related to either some exercise you're doing during the day or some abnormality of the pancreas, stomach, or gallbladder. Those are the points of investigation to start with. HRS, M.D., FACC

More info?: Is it sharp or achy? Is it every time or only sometimes? What type? How long does it last? Anything make it better? Running makes it worse? Does food affect the pain? Have you had any surgery ? How long has it been there? Have you tried any medications? Did they work? Did you injure yourself? Pulled muscle etc? Gallbladder?Gastritis? Any nausea? Fevers?
