The entrance to the stomach is just to the left of and behind the heart. Pain in that area is most often from the irritation caused by the backwash of stomach acid (heartburn). The stomach is a muscular organ, squeezing food to mix it for digestion, If you lay down after eating, consume any caffeine, the weakness of the stomach closure allows backwash. The BP is a little up, but I not worrisome.
