I have had upper GIs to see if I have an ulcer, hernia, or gallbladder problems, but nothing found. About a month ago and again today
I experienced a severe pain from the front of my body near the stomach all the way
through to my back, and then radiating up to the sides of my neck
with an accompaning nausea feeling (although I did not get sick).
I tried to look at info regarding hernias and upper GI problems,
but really haven't found anything that describes symptoms including
the radiating pain up to my neck (it's as if my throat is suddenly
cut off and nausea feeling sets in). After a while (maybe about
20 minutes or less), the pain leaves, but it is VERY intense when
it does happen.
I think I feel a small knot below my sternum, but I am not sure.
When I went to the doctor's for the GI, I told them the pain I feel
almost all the time is a soreness just below my right rib. My stool
is sometimes dark, but he found no blood.
Do you have any ideas? I have no insurance, and therefore can't
afford to go to a doctor (most won't take you around here without insurance).

Dear Kn,
The pain that you decribe could originate from the gastrointestinal tract or the heart. Depending on your age and concurrent medical conditions, you may consider a cardiac evaluation. If the pain recurs, GI evaluation will be needed.
This information is presented for abdominal pain. Always ask specific questions to your personal physician.
