Hi XXXXXX,
Welcome to healthcare magic!
The symptoms of nausea, right hypochondriac pain in females is quite suggestive of gall bladder colic. The cause can be gall stones or cholecystitis.
The other important possibility is of dyspepsia where your stomach produces more acid and causes symptoms.
You should get an Ultrasound of abdomen and a Complete boood counts and Liver function test and get a review to a local physician with the reports.
I hope you would get benefited with my advise.
Wish you a good health.
