Hello, It looks from your details that you are off and on feeling swelling and painful cramps a upper abdomen area. In my opinion this can be epigastric hernia or one of the other type of hernia. I will advise you to consult to your physician. A clinical examination is must in such case and almost confirmatory in such cases. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
