Hello and welcome,
Yes plan B can cause nausea and breast tenderness as well as gastric upset in some women.
If the nausea is severe then you may take tablet ondensetrone as a single dose. If however there is vomiting and losse motions then you will need to see a doctor to rule out a gastric infection.
Also eat a bland diet and yogurt to help soothen the stomach.
You may also experience a period or bleeding in the forth coming days due to the pill.
Do not worry as most of the symptoms are self limiting and go away after a day or two.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
