How Can Chronic Upper Abdominal Pain Be Treated?

I have had upper abdominal pain for the last maybe 10 years or so , I had my gallbladder removed 2012 , but every once in a while I get these upper abdominal pain that s so unbearable , I have noticed the pain coming more often lately and it seems when I take a couple swigs of pepto it seems to help , not right away but it does help, aside from that I have had a positive hpylori before not sure if that has anything g to do with it. Literaly i can not move hen i get this pain just confused wondering if maybe its just indigestion . I had a physician give me ranitidine which really dosent help.
