Heart attack
My grandfather had severe pain a little bit lower than his chest (on the diaphragm) and on his back and he also vomited. We went to the hospital within an hour and they did an Xray on his chest and they didnt find anything. Is it possible to be a heart attack, myocardial infarction, or it would be normally shown on the test?
