Brief Answer:
cardiological investigation is required
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
a pain lasting 30 minutes on the chest and back accompanied by nausea, vomiting can be caused by various conditions.
One of the most important ones is heart related pain (ischemia). Since your symptoms raise suspicions about this condition, urgent investigation is warranted. An electrocardiogram, cardiological assessment and troponin assay are the ways to exclude an acute coronary event.
Esophageal problems share the same symptoms with heart related pain sometimes and they represent an alternative diagnosis.
I can't link the diarrhea with your chest pain.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.
Kind Regards!
