Hi jinnene.....sorry you are having discomfort. It is possible that you are having problems with you parathyroid (parathyroidism) which discribes nausea, hypercalcemia, vomiting....also gallstones can be hell as far as issues with stomach goes, another thing is check into urinary tract infection as well. I'm not sure what yr you were born but if you are a baby boomer get checked for Hep C as well. Good luck and I hope you feel better and find a good hematologist they do better blood work ups than reg Md
Be Well
