What Causes Pain In Abdomen And Between Shoulder Blades?
I woke up to an unbearable pain that felt like it was coming from between my shoulder blades and when it gets really intense I get a striking pain between my abdomen area. Both are currently fighting back and forth trying to compete for the most pain.

Hi.
The most probable causes of such pains can be :
Esophagitis
GERD
MI- to rule out by EKG urgently
Pleural infection
Pneumonia .
I would advise upper GI endoscopy, ultrasonography, X-ray of the chest and most important EKG. Visit ER ASAP to get the investigations and treatment done. Take PPI, Antacid orally.
