What Causes Upper Abdominal Pain?

I am experiencing some pain in my upper abdomen. It gets worse when I attempt to lay on my stomach at night. In addition to the pain, my saliva thins (for lack of a better word to describe) and begins to run. I can stand over the bathroom sink and the water will just run out of my mouth. I am not able to swallow the fluid. What could this be?
