Hello and welcome to HCM,
Nausea, vomiting and upper abdominal pain suggests reflux disease or indigestion.
These symptoms can be relived by taking proton pump inhibitor.
U suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and prescription of medication.
Thanks and take care
