Hi and thank you for asking!
I read carefully all your concerns and I can say as follows:
1. You are reporting to have right abdominal pain and nausea.
You symptoms may be related with :
- gallbladder issues
- ovarian cysts
- large bowel issues/IBS
It would be great if you send me your abdominal ultrasound and CT scan reports , so I can check them by myself.
2. With regards to the fact that recently you have metallic taste and nausea may be related with an acute gastrointestinal infection.
Meantime you can use:
- butyscopolamine to relieve large bowel spasms
- Zofran
- painkiller to improve your symptoms.
3. If your symptoms doesn't get worse than you can wait till Monday for medical help.
If your symptoms get worse than go immediately at ER.
