What Causes Right Sided Chest Pain With Vomiting?

I have had pain in my right side of chest, above breast but pain goes down right breast and into my right side under arm. I have had lap banding (vbg) about 6 years ago and have kept the weight off. I have trouble keeping food down and have been vomiting it up to relieve some of the pain. I also have a large hernia (from the surgery), which took over 200 stitches to close. I am just wondering if I have caused some problem to my chest or throat from all the throwing up I have done. I do this at least once a day if not more.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you had banding surgery possibility of spasm of lower esophageal sphincter is more likely.
This sphincter plays very important role in swallowing.
If this sphincter doesn't work properly, chest pain, vomiting, pain relieved by vomiting is seen.
So better to consult gastroenterologist and get done upper GI (gastrointestinal) scopy with manometry (pressure monitoring).
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
