Pain in the upper stomach is usually from the stomach. Taking an antacid such as tums, pepto-bismol or maalox should help. For persistent symptoms Zantac or Prilosec may be better (but not start as fast).
If the pain is severe, wakes you up, shoots to the back, is associated with bringing up blood or material that looks like coffee grounds, blood int he stool or stool that is black and tarry then you should see a doctor immediately.
If the pain does not go away or keeps coming back you should see a doctor.
You should also avoid spicey, acidic (tomato sauce, orange juice) and fatty foods as well as alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes.

Could mild gastritis cause severe pain in the upper abdomen?
Due to the amount of nerve endings in the stomach and the surface area that it can cover it is possible for mild gastritis to be very painful. The pain should be felt in the upper stomach region at or below the bottom of the rib cage and above the belly button. Most gastritis pain is diffuse for mild cases, meaning it is usually not a sharp stabbing pain which could be indicative of a ulcer. See a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment.
