Brief Answer:
bad food, infection, ulcer

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
There are many causes for the symptoms you report. Probably the most common is a viral gastroenteritis. This usually presents with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. It can result in dehydration and that may cause headache and dizziness. If this is short term then try to stay hydrated by drinking small sips of water frequently. If it has been going on for many days then you probably need to see a doctor to make sure that you do not have something more serious like a serious food poisoning or an ulcer. If the abdominal pain is severe or if you have a high fever see a doctor right away.
I hope you are feeling better soon.
Regards,
Dr. Robinson
