Within a few hours there is severe upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting (relieved after endoscopic removal of worm). Anti-worm medication is available.

Gastroenteritis.: Could be that there was some bacteria in that sushi that has now made you sick. This may last a few days, and you could get some nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
