Digestive question regarding pain and discomfort….Help!?

I’ve been having problems w/abdominal pain for over a year. I’ve had tons of tests done-no doctor can figure out what’s wrong. The main issues are a feeling of fullness, like a rock that’s stuck smack dab in the center of my abdomen, a couple of inches above my belly button. The fullness usually occurs after I eat and often is at its worst several hours after I eat. The feeling of fullness doesn’t go away for HOURS! Sometimes I feel like I don’t even get hungry because I’m still so full from my last meal. Sometimes I have pain, like a gnawing sensation. I also have problems with burping a lot (I never used to!). Sometimes the feeling is directly in between where by ribs meet. But more often it’s right in the middle of my torso, about 2-3 inches above my belly button. Please, if anyone has any idea what this could be, please please give me suggestions! Is this where my pancreas is located? My transverse colon? Pancreatic duct? I have NO idea, but it’s driving me crazy!

Ok I got out my old nursing school notes and here are some possibilities; HIATAL HERNIA: feels like something is stuck or feelings of fullness, GASTRIC ULCER; pain described as burning or gnawing that comes in waves. Hope that helps you out!
