HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It does not sound like the flu.
Nausea, vomiting, headache are commonly related to viral or bacterial infection of the stomach. If the intestines are involved may also have diarrhea.
In some persons , who have severe reflux, these symptoms may also occur.
Treatment
(1)Restricting your diet till there is a 4 hour window with no symptoms
(2)using meds such as peptobismol or dramamine would help
(3)probiotics
(4)you need to replace the fluid loss to prevent dehydation- should use small amounts initially, if you use too much at a time, may cause vomiting
I hope this helps
