You : You are likely dealing with acid reflux. Basically your stomach produces excess acid when you eat certain foods (typically spicy, greasy, caffeinated products, chocolate) this excess acid causes abdominal pain thats usually burning in nature. The acid can reflux (go from stomach into the esophagus) this is why you feel the pain in your chest, and you ultimately vomit. Please schedule an appointment with your doctor right away. In the meantime you can try an acid blocker like pepcid, (famotidine) or something called a proton pump inhibitor like over the counter prilosec. Also avoid the foods that worsen your symptoms. Best of luck to you.
