Could be: A hernia could get a loop of intestine stuck in it causing an intestinal obstruction. This would produce vomitting and abd pain. He should see a physician right away as be may require eergency surgery.

Immediate attention: This requires immediate attention in the emergency room. I suspect the hernia has caused an obstruction of his intestine. If this is not resolved soon, the intestine will die, then burst, putting your boyfriend's life at risk. Please take care of this right away.
