Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Headache, nausea and vomiting can be the symptoms of increased pressure in the brain or spinal cord. This can be caused by some disc compression to spinal cord indeed. You should also have some pain in the neck or back. So if you feel this can be it, please consult neurologist as soon as possible.
Food poisoning can also give such symptoms however diarrhea is also quite characteristic.

I suggest you to do not wait any longer and visit your doctor.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
