I'm having extreme pain in my chest and upper back. It's a dull pain I can't really explain but it hurts. I haven't hurt myself recently. I have had a headache for about 2 weeks and have been recently coughing and throwing up. I had been drinking a drink, I didn't realize had a very large amount of sodium in and have switched away from it. It's been going on for weeks and just seems to be getting worse. I don't know if I should be worried or wait for it to figure out itself.

Pain around the tip of the left shoulder blade, especially after a fatty meal associated with coughing and throwing up, would suggest gall bladder problem.
The only way to ascertain the diagnosis is have a physician fully evaluate you. Pay attention to the color of your eyes, stool and urine as well as what makes the pain better or worse, plus weight changes. Your doctor will appreciate that set of information.

get to a physician ASAP
I agree, given your symptoms and the duration, you need to be seen by a physician. The important thing is to ensure that you do not have any physical issue causing the problem, which can be detrimental to your health. After physical, assessment is completed and if no etiology is determined, psychological mental stressors can also manifest with your sypmtoms. Seek help and get better.
You could have a serious medical problem. Pain is the body telling you something is wrong. Severe pain is particularly concerning. See a physician immediately and be sure to explain that you were drinking a drink with a lot of sodium. Checking a sodium level and other electrolytes is very important.
