Consider being seen: If your still having pain a week after a lot of vomiting, I may worry about an esophageal tear. It's not common, but does happen. It is common to have pain in the upper abdomen and lower chest with or shortly after retching, but it shouldn't last a week. The Bells is probably unrelated.
