Nausea

In some instances, nausea can be a symptom of biliary colic. Nausea is an uneasy feeling, or discomfort, in the stomach. Sometimes referred to as queasy, it's the sensation that a person has an urge to or is about to vomit.

When it's due to biliary colic, nausea typically accompanies abdominal pain. It may start or become worse after eating. When caused by biliary colic, nausea usually goes away when abdominal pain stops.5‘Nausea: a Review of Pathophysiology and Therapeutics.’ PubMed Central (PMC), www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4699282/
