Gallstones?: Have you had any imaging done? Upper abdominal discomfort can be many things. Gallbladder disease can present as you describe. That is best evaluated with ultrasound. CT scan may be helpful as well, and will identify a hiatal hernia. The most common symptom of hiatal hernia is heartburn that's hard to treat.
