What Causes Excruciating Pain In Back And Chest Area, Nausea And Dizziness?

I have been experiencing excruciating pain in my upper back between my ribs,along my sides,and below my right ribcage, also in-between my chest area. This has been going on for the last 2 mnths at least 4 times a week. The pain is so intense that I can t function, sometimes it is associated with nausea & vomiting & dizziness. Since this been going on, my fingers also have been getting numb whn I m doing certain things like combing my hair. Any answers on exactly what I might be experiencing?
