Brief Answer:
syncopal attack
Detailed Answer:
Dear,

I have gone through your medical history in detail. It appears that you have suffered a syncopal attack followed by fall & head injury.
Stomach ache and nausea does not seem to be related. I would treat this with antacid & antiemetic medication for couple of days before proceeding to investigate further. You should be able to find a good antacid and antiemetic over the counter at your nearest chemist stores.
As you been to the doctor after the fall, I hope you did get a CT scan to rule out intracranial lesion. If CT scan was normal and if symptoms persist, I would consider MRI CERVICAL SPINE to rule out cervical cause for vertigo; though it is very uncommon in young age.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
