Hello,

The acute pain in lower chest and upper back relates to underlying various problems as pancreas (stone or inflammation), gall bladder (stone or infection), ulcer (stomach or duodenum); various conditions associated with referred pain category of human physiology at the level from which the concerned somatic segment of the abdomen is innervated. A detailed scan of the abdomen and pelvis with or without an MRI or CT scan would be best need of diagnostic tools as per the expert comments of your clinician.

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