Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Pain in mentioned location can be caused by peptic ulcer, pancreas chronic inflammation or gallstones. Pancreas and gallstones pain usually radiates to the back. Nausea can appear.
As you have acid reflux disease, stomach issue should be rule out at first. To do that, you should have gastroscopy done.
If nothing will be found, please have also abdominal ultrasound, blood work, pancreas tests.
In a meanwhile please avoid fatty foods, spicy foods, coffee, alcohol, fruit jucies, chocolate.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
