Why Am I Having Abdominal And Chest Pain?

I'm in a lot of pain in my stomach, abdominal pain, and chest pain! I woke up this morning with some swelling in my face, lips swollen! Since October 2008 I've been having breathing problems, cause i was working around chemicals and fumes! I wa put off work in June 2009 and forgot one important thing my gallbladder was removed in August 2009 with gallstones in it and the doctors thought at that time that my liver and kidney was damaged as well due to the fact of how bad my gallbladder was! But Thank God my liver and kidney at that time was okay! Can someone try to explain to me or try to help me on whats going on with me! I've been to a few doctors and I feel that no one shouldn't suffer like I'm suffering!

HI.
Noted the history of gall bladder removal and reports about your kidney and liver that they are normal.
This is a good news.
Now : about your problem about pain in the abdomen and the chest, along with swollen face and lips.
The probable diagnosis of your problem can be ::
You have a pleural inflammation due to something that causes simultaneous pain in abdomen and the chest
This can be best diagnosed by CT scan of the chest and upper abdomen. This can also be due to acid peptic disease. Upper GI endoscopy will help.
Disc compression in the upper thoracic area can cause the pain of this nature.
Please go for all the relevant tests:
