Nausea is a very common symptom that can be due to a gastrointestinal disorder or another type of disorder located outside the gastrointestinal tract. The presence of abdominal pain may suggest that nausea is originating from the gastrointestinal tract.
Many gastrointestinal disorders manifest with nausea and abdominal pain (inflammations, peptic ulcers, tumors, gallstones, hernias…). You didn’t describe the pain (intensity, time of showing up (after or before eating), localization, propagation…) so I can’t give you any possible diagnosis.
Several diagnostic procedures are used to discover the origin of such pain: a physical examination (palpation and percussion), an abdominal ultrasound, an X-ray image, a CT-scan, blood analyses (blood count, sedimentation rate, liver status, kidney status…). You can consult your GP first and then an internist if necessary.
