Brief Answer:
Hello

Detailed Answer:
There are a few possibilities here--
Dizziness or vertigo can be an inner ear problem that lasts for a day or two, but it can be a sign of an impending stroke so you need to see a doctor about that right away.

Upper stomach pain with queasiness can be an H pylori stomach infection, a gall bladder problem, a peptic ulcer, or pancreatitis. I would normally do an exam, get blood work and get a ct scan of your abdomen to work that up.

Basically, if you've yet to see a doctor about all this, you need to do so as soon as possible
