Could Nausea And The Pain Under My Rib Cage Area Indicate A Mild Gall Bladder Attack?

I have been having pain on my left side under my rib cage area, kind of a nausea, some epigastric pain for about 3-4hrs. I do have my gall bladder, I did eat some carmel corn late last pm, and have just had tea today. Not the worst pain I have ever had, but quite noticeable. Could this be a mild gall bladder attack? I'm 58yo white female, few pounds over weight, active, do not smoke or drink.
