Hi,Celes,
Welcome to HCM,
Your pain might be due to some impact on elbow givinf rise to severe pain as ulner nerve is very superficial on the elbow , so even slight impact on elbow you may get severe pain radiating down.
But at the same time as you get some gastric upset you may go for ECG to rule out any cardiac problem.
Ok and bye.
