Hi. Yes IBS can cause pain in abdomen and nausea. After going through your history, the Pain is more suggestive of Pancreatitis. Get investigated: Blood for amylase lipase along with other parameters, urgent ultrasonography and CT scan to confirm. You may need admission to the hospital and treatment under direct care of the gastroenterologist. This will also take care of the vertigo and vomiting you have. The vertigo may in fact be fainting and not a true one, if true vertigo - it can be due to inner ear inflammation which you mentioned.
