May be unrelated: Nausea/vomiting may be gi-related (food poisoning, peptic disease, gastroparesis, due to biliary ; pancreatic disease, gas/bloat syndrome, small bowel problems). Consider "central" causes: motion sickness, vertigo, migraine headache, brain problems (some very serious). Also, rule out infection (? Urinary tract), medication side effects, pregnancy, & even reaction to stress. Find & treat cause.

Gallbladder Polyp: Polyps of the gallbladder, as identified by ultrasound, are treated based on size. Larger polyps carry a higher risk of malignancy, and may represent a reason why surgeons like me may recommend gallbladder removal. Small polyps are followed with imaging over time and the gallbladder is removed if they grow significantly. Polyp doesn't cause nausea. Only have 400 characters to answer!
