What Causes Back Pain And Diarrhea Despite A Normal EKG Report?

Onset of sharp pain in the middle of back. Nausea and some diarrhea. Pain seems to migrate from back to abdomen. After a bit of vomiting pain seems less but then returns. This happened before about 5 weeks ago in the middle of the night. It was so severe I called 911. They checked her vitals including EKG and all seemed ok. Pain subsided and we did not go to ER. This is my wife, age 79, in very good health otherwise.
