(9)vertigo
(10)lesion in the brain- rare cause
(11)mass in the bowel-rare cause
(12)ulcer in the stomach- would have a history of reflux
Medications such as dramamine or peptobismol would help the nausea. These can be used together safely.
Using small meals, dry foods with minimal frying or gravy may help along with peppermint and ginger.
To find the cause, you would need blood tests and imaging after your abdomen is examined to see if there is any obvious cause
Specific treatment would depend on the specific cause found
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
