Hello!
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
There are many possible causes that can cause such a pain:
-It can be a peptic ulcer in your stomach or duodenum causing this pain.The diagnosis is confirmed by upper endoscopy.In this case taking antiacids and PPI drugs such as Pantoprazol twice a day relieve the pain and also serve to confirm the diagnosis.
-It can be a stone in your gallbladder.The diagnosis is confirmed by abdominal ultrasound.
-Considering your age I would not exclude an appendicitis(inflammation of appendix) because in early stage this condition can cause pain in stomach are and can confuse the diagnosis.This diagnose is confirmed by abdominal ultrasound.
You also need to do some tests such as complete blood count and urinalysis and certainly an abdominal ultrasound.
I suggest to consult a physician,get examined and get the tests done to sort out the right cause and to take the right treatment.
Hope my answer has helped.
Take care.
