You mentioned that the hospital "diagnosed" you with epigastric pain (basically, indigestion). Strange, because at the NIH webpage for indigestion (http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/indigestion/), it mentions that vomiting or nausea may be from something more serious. Indigestion is not a diagnosis itself; it is caused by something else (serious or not), and it would be a good idea to see a specialist who can run some diagnostic tests.
Here is a complete list of A-Z digestive topics that you can read, and learn more about your symptoms and the tests you should take.
Don't focus too much on all of the possible conditions; you may have Gastritis (which is a common problem; up to 10% of people coming to the hospital with stomach pain have gastritis).
