in my opinion according to your symptoms this could be an episode of Acute pancreatitis. I would recommend you to visit an gastrophysician as soon as possible. your blood check up for SGOT/ SGPT ALP is necessary. do you drink too much? it's most common cause is alcohol, I would recommend you to stop alcohol if u drink. do you have gall bladder problem in past.? gallstones may also cause these symptoms. I would recommend you to visit some concerned doctor nearby.
