Then I felt like was almost to the point of throwing up. I had to lie down on the floor. After that I had to take a poop. Still feel light headed, and having minor cramps in abdomen area.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi ! Did you eat any food outside your house ? If yes, the first diagnosis goes towards a food poisoning which gives rise to such symptoms. You may have to take antibiotics to control the infection on consultation with your family physician.
Apart from that, other possibilities are gall stone colic, ureteric colic. To exclude these, you may be required to go for an ultrasound abdomen after consulting your family physician.
Wishing you an early recovery.
