stomach pain

I had a gastric band fitted about 6 years ago. I have over the six years i have suffered stomach pain but recently it has become worse. it is in my chest and between my shoulder blades; it radiates up into my knock and Jaw. I went to A & E at the weekend as the pain was so bad, they  checked out my heart, kidneys, liver and pancreas; they all came back clear. the A & E doc told me to go to see my GP at the beginning of this seek and he would write to the GP advising that I have a camera down into my stomach to check for anything in there. I can not get to see my Gp until Tuesday next week. I am in pain all of the time and find it worse at night; so bad that I don't want to go to bed. I have raised the head of my bed but this has done nothing to help. After reading some of the post on some gastric band sights i am worried and am unsure if i should go to a walk in practise. This would be pointless if all they say is go see your GP; time waisted for them. what do you think I should do?
