I'd be concerned. That sounds like your stomach or very close to it. Talk to your doctor or go to the clinic and let them know what's been going on. You never know, it could be as serious as a peptic ulcer to something very minor.
"Many ulcer patients experience minimal indigestion or no discomfort at all. Some report upper abdominal burning or hunger pain one to three hours after meals and in the middle of the night. These pain symptoms are often promptly relieved by food or antacids. The pain of ulcer disease correlates poorly with the presence or severity of active ulceration. Some patients have persistent pain even after an ulcer is completely healed by medication."Health Question & Answer
