Upstairs damp usually come from ventilation problems, roof or breast walls from the chimney they are a little hard to trace and usually needs a bit of building work to sort, its not just a usual case of m2 high or tanking.

Rising damp will only "rise" about 800mm from source so it sounds like penetrating damp or roof damage.
