Brief Answer:
Proper diagnostic is necessary.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

If this is upper middle abdominal pain, the most probable reason is peptic ulcer. However in some cases stomach cancer can give exact symptoms.
As the pain is lasts for a long time, does not get better, the condition causing it can not be ignored.
You need a proper diagnostic. Please visit your doctor. Abdominal ultrasound and blood work should be done at first. Gastroscopy is a second step.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
