Did you ever take medicine for this? If so, did it help? Often times doctors will help diagnose with a trial of medication. If it helps then that helps them verifiy the diagnosis.   However, have you ever had your gall bladder checked? What and where you are describing is exactly what my Mom had until her gall bladder was removed. She has severe reflux and had an ulcer in her small intestines so for years the assumption was that the feeling was due to the ulcer but lo and behold once her gall bladder came out the sensation went away.   This might be something worth asking your doctor about.   Good Luck - Stephanie
