Detailed Answer:
Hi.Welcome to healthcaremagic.I understand your problem.My opinion is that,You need some investigations like ultrasound abdomen and pelvis to rule out the cause for the pain.Pain in the right side abdomen may be due to many resons.It may be due to problems in the gall bladder,liver,appendix etc.,So kindly consult your surgeon.He will ask you to do ultrasound abdomen and pelvis.After that only the cause for the pain can be ruled out.postmenopausal symptoms do not cause vomiting.Only abdominal problems are associated with vomiting and nausea.
Thank you.
