Do Sharp Pain Under Breast Suggest Issues With Gall Bladder?

My sister-in-law threw up most of Sunday morning and had a headache and a bad taste in her mouth. She also had sharp pains under her right breast. Should she be seeing a doctor about gallbladder issues? Does she need to worry about her Pancreas? Her father passed away due to pancreatic cancer. But, there is a history of gallbladder issues in the family, as well.
