Abdominal Pain. Had Heart Attack. Done CT Scan. Done Blood Test. What Is Wrong?

I have had pain in my abdomen for 5 months now. I had a heart attack almost 4 yrs ago, with 100% blockage in the LAD. I have a good bit of damage to my heart. I have defib with pacer. I have in the last few months, had a stress test and it is unchanged, an endoscopy that was normal, an abdominal us which was normal, 2 hida scans that were normal, a abdominal ct which was normal, a vascular us that showed a blockage in one artery in my abdomen, I had last week a cath, but the doctor decided not to put a stent in that artery. I still am having terrible, at times, pain. It hurts mainly in the middle of my abdomen. There is no rhyme or reason to when it hurts and what I have been eating or doing. I am beginning to get frustrated knowing there is something going on in my belly, but the 3 doctors I have been to, can't find out what. I also have had several blood test to check for infection and especially pancreatis.
