Hi,

The most probable causes I can think about are:
Gastric ulcer on the posterior wall.
Pancreatitis with or without gall bladder colic or due to pancreatic stone causing spasmodic pains.
Rare cause about the conditions of the retro-peritoneal structures should also be kept in mind.
The best possible ways are as follows:
Rush to ER.
CT scan of the abdomen can help a lot.
Relevant tests of blood and urine.
Upper GI Endoscopy is feasible.
All these will lead to a proper diagnosis and a plan of management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant, General Surgeon
