Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms of pain in the upper abdomen above the belly button, between the shoulder blades and acid reflux regurgitation that taste like vomit is called GERD.
GERD means Gatsroesophagral reflux disease.
This may be due to the medicines you are taking for Systemic Lupus, Psoriatic Arthritis and Fibromyalgis.

I would advise you the following:
-First of all get the upper GI endoscopy done to see the exact problem , to see if there is Hiatus Hernia or any other associated finding.
-PPI or Ranitidine
-Antacid gel 3 hourly interval
-Domperidone 8 hourly interval
Soft bland diet
Small frequent meals
No tobacco in any form
No alcohol or aerated beverages
No late nights.

All these things will help you for the other problems also.
