Does anyone know what this pain is I've been getting in my lower ribs and back?

So I have had a feeling of food stuck in my oesophagus about 3 weeks now at various times incl when I'm not eating

4-5 times and in increasing frequency in the last week I've had this stabbing type pain in my upper back which goes out under the shoulder blades?
And a deep aching pain in the chest? It feels like I've been kicked I guess? Seems to be after I've eaten. Then last night I woke up from the pain and had to go take pain killers.

Things I've tried:

Wind medicine
Acid pills just the chalk ones
Buscopan
Paracetamol
Apple cider vinegar

Should I contact GP? I would use the e consult thing and I'm starting to worry it's my gall bladder
I'm 27 😭 I'm v confused

Is it worse at different times ?

Yes but can't work out a pattern

It happened on Friday afternoon and I was so sick my husband actually took me to hospital

I am really struggling even with the omeparazole

My gallstones where picked up on an ultrasound - have you had one ?

In the meantime start keeping a food diary and a pain diary

No I haven't had one, they said I need an endoscope
They are thinking it might be h pylori

Why have they put me on the 2 week pathway

I can't go without the omeparazole to have the stool test for HPylori?
