Brief Answer:
Hello. None of this sounds very serious

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Welcome to HCM.

The dizziness and nausea and the headache may just be the flu.

Not sure exactly what you mean by the abdominal discomfort but that may just be a stomach virus. All in all, none of this sounds too serious but if it continues beyond a few days it would be a good idea to get checked out by your doctor. The dizziness and nausea along with the headache may be from a sinus infection for which you'd need a course of antibiotics.

Meanwhile, just continue resting, remain well hydrated and have simple home-cooked meals (which your already doing)..

Please let me know if you need any more information.
