General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
thank you for your query at healthcare magic.
From the symptoms you have given, it could be a number of things:
1.Pancreatitis - an inflammation of the pancreas which could be acute or chronic
2.Stomach issues, like peptic ulcer

However, if i could know some more details about your symptoms such as whether or not the pain is consistent, or its onset is before or after having a meal, or is it relieved by food or aggravated by it.
If you can relate to these symptoms, you most likey have peptic ulcer in which case i would suggest you get an endoscopy done given your age.
On fhe other hand, if the pain you feel is constant and it is relieved by bending forward,and if you have fatty stool or an associated fever; these could indicate a probkem of pancreatic origin. You can tell for sure if you get some blood work done like serum lipase and amylase.
I hope this answer is helpful.
Thank you for visiting healthcare magic.
