Brief Answer:
different possible causes
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Persistent nausea can be due to varying causes.
IF it is associated with pain in the lower part of your abdomen then it is likely related to structures in this area eg the bladder, intestines, organs of the genital tract ( ovaries, uterus etc).
Some possible causes related to this area would be: (1) pregnancy
(2)urinary tract infection particularly infection of the bladder, would normally be associated with other symptoms
(3)inflammation or infection of the gastrointestinal tract-colitis
(4)infection of any aspect of the genital tract eg PID
Other causes of persistent nausea and pain are: (1) side effect of medication
(2)hepatitis
(3) gallstones
(4)obstruction of the bowel
(5)abnormal levels of electrolytes eg calcium
(6)kidney failure
If the symptoms continue or worsen then it would be best to visit your doctor for an assessment.
This would include examination of the abdomen .
Depending on the presence of any other symptoms and the result of the examination further tests may or may not be needed
The treatment would depend on the cause
For now you can consider peptobismol or dramamine to help with the nausea.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

I have pain now going into my lower back and the middle of my back
Brief Answer:
structures in the area
Detailed Answer:
HI
Again pain in an area is normally related to the structures in the vicinity or it can also be referred pain.
The most common cause of lower back relates to the muscles and vertebra.
Muscle spasm or strain can cause pain that would be more towards the sides of the back.
Vertebral is normally central. In most cases the pain is not related to serious causes unless associated with symptoms such as weakness in the legs, problems passing stool or urine, numbness or other abnormal sensations in the legs
The use of paracetamol ,ibuprofen or naproxen may help
