Q: swelling of xiphoid process with pain

For the past few weeks I have had alot of abdominal pains all over. Had a CT done and all came back well except large cyst on left ovary. Then I started to have a lot of chest pain, it felt like i was having a heart attack. Had a CT on chest but everything came back ok. My enzyme level was high...not sure what that means. They really didn't say either. They said I had chostochondritis. I have now had excrutiating pain in my xiphoid process and it is very swollen and tender to touch. I can't sleep because its hard to get comfortable and I also have been having really bad acid reflux to the point it feels like I am going to get sick. I'm not sure exactly what is going on but people keep telling me it could be hiatal hernia. Could that cause xiphoid process to swell and hurt really bad? Also have a lot of pain throughout my rib cage. Any help would be great.
