Answers:
it's most likely a stomach ulcer, but don't worry, antibiotics can cure them!. and for the heart burning sensation, you can take antacids tablets!. and plenty of rest is recommended!.
but before you start taking antibiotics confirm it by telling your doctor to do an 1!.endoscopy or gastroscopy, which usually allows the doctor to see the ulcer by inserting a slim, flexible lighted tube or telescope through your mouth to your stomach!.
2!.a biopsy, which is an exam under a microscope of a tissue sample taken from the lining of the stomach during the endoscopy!.
3!.blood tests to look for H!. pylori bacteria
you said you did blood tests, but there was nothing worng, so it means there was no signs of anemia, which is a good sign, indicating its not bleeding ulcer!.

You could have an ulcer,but as 'mum of 5 'answered, you need to ask about Helicobactor,which is a bug in the stomach and a cause of stomach ulcers!.
I had similar symptoms as yourself and my doctor arranged to have some tests done!.They found Helicobactor!.I was treated with a cocktail of several antibiotics and have not had any trouble since!.
My symptoms were food related!.About 1 to 2 hours after eating,the acute pain was back!.When I ate something the pain disappeared only to return 2 hours later!.
Do not delay,see you Doctor and ask about Helicobactor because I waited and when they diagnosed it,they found that the ulcer was bleeding!.
Don't be alarmed,it can be cleared up quite easily!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
