No doctor is able to diagnose me

Hello everyone! male 22 years old. I Don't drink or smoke. i am really tired of my condition. I have been suffering since 3 years of unknown mysterious upper abdomen pain ONLY when I sleep on my belly and disappears immediately when I stand straight within seconds the pain goes away! Doctors throughout my entire 3 years were not able to explain the cause (as they tell me there is no such pain with a known condition which disappears within seconds). I have done every single Test and imaging test available in science, all showing normal results. I suffer from very foul smelling yellow stool with a shiny oily film on the surface that floats. .. No other symptoms (No heart burn no diarrhea no dizziness no fatigue).

Did more than 20 different blood tests and all came normal. No gallstones no Hepatitis. I have tried antipsychotic, antidepressants with no benefit. Nothing is working. No one understands my pain like I said I have no pain when I’m standing straight, Or while eating, The pain comes ONLY when I sleep on my belly at anytime and goes away within second when I stand up. The pain on a scale of 10 is 10. please Help

The pain is exactly in the epigastric region of abdomen. To be most precise, the pain resembles getting punched in the abdomen. So it starts when I lay down where there is pressure on my abdomen/belly, the pain gradually starts increasing and its even more painful when taking deep breaths and less painful when I exhale. So whenever I take a deep breath where my belly expands (it feels like its compressing an organ inside my body which immediately makes me want to exhale to relive the pain. Nothing shows up on ultrasounds or Ct scan.

    wonder if its slipping rib syndrome or something related to the nerves in that area since it comes on when pressure is placed there aka when you lay on your front..
