What's causing my nausea, headaches, stomach and chest pains?

Hi.

I'm a 33 year old female and have been dealing with what my PCP says is GI issues. I've been on Pantoprazole for about 6 weeks now. She prescribed me this b/c I was experiencing center chest pains that were shooting through to my back. These pains have been ongoing for a few months. At the time I saw her, I also had sharp stomach pains possibly due to an antibiotic I was taking for strep. I stopped the antibiotic on her recommendation but, still have the center chest pains.

The past week has been pretty terrible. I had a cold on Mon and Tues of last week and took Sudafed. Wednesday I woke up feeling better but, around lunch time before I could eat, I started getting very nauseous and got an extreme headache. I tried to eat but it didn't help. I was so nauseous I was shaking. I laid down for a bit and took a nap and woke up feeling mostly better. Felt slightly nauseous after dinner.

Since then, I've been battling days of center chest pain, stomach pain, nausea and terrible headaches. Chest and stomach are a constant ache. All of these symptoms happen together when I'm at my worst. Sometimes I'll just have stomach/chest pain w/o the headache. The chest pain will sometimes shoot to my back. I sometimes have squeezing sensation in my left lower armpit area when I have the chest pain.

Mornings I wake up feeling ok. Sometimes I can manage to make it till lunch and eat before I start having symptoms. This morning I was delayed on eating and the symptoms started. Once I eat the headaches subside a little but they take a little to go away. The chest/stomach pain goes away but will come back.

I was given Carafate from my PCP from a previous visit and it seems to help with the chest/stomach pain temporarily. I am still taking the Pantoprazole daily.

Constantly fatigued and having dizzy spells (usually with the headaches). My left cheek sometimes gets tingly and one nurse said that could be an nerve issue. Have a Neurology apt scheduled.

In the past I've also had quick center stabbing pains and palpitations. Always have been told it's GI or normal. My current state is what is what is concerning. Any help would be appreciated. I have a GI apt scheduled for the 19th.

Thank you
