My husband has stomach pain?

My husband came home from work yesterday with stomach pain on his upper right side. He said the pain started about 11 a.m. At about 11 pm he started throwing up. Threw up about 4 times throughout the night. Felt better this morning. Said the pain had eased a lot and now just felt like he was a little sore, like a muscle. He went to work and came home a few hours later because he said his stomach was feeling kind of queasy. He ate a banana for breakfast. Finally, at about 8:30 pm he has me cook dinner. We have eggs and bacon. About 10:30 he goes to bed. After about 30 mins he says to get him a bucket or something ready in case he throws up again. And now his stomach is hurting again on the right side but kinda all over maybe. I think that’s everything. Yesterday he said that if he put slight pressure on it the pain would ease up.

Get ultrasound of gall bladder bladder. He may have gall stones. Or could be food related
He needs a full evaluation by a physician. The site of the pain is in the area of the gallbladder so he could be having pain from gallstones. For severe symptoms, go to the ER. Otherwise get to a PCP or urgent care promptly.
I would recommend evaluation with your primary care physician or presenting to an urgent care center or emergency department to help determine the cause of his symptoms. There are lots of different things that can cause abdominal pain and vomiting, some more serious and others less so.
Visit ER or urgent care. He need acute abdominal series. May need CT scan of abdomen and pelvis.
