What Causes Headache And Dizziness With Vomiting Sensations?

I've had a headache for about a week and a half now. And for the past two or three days it feels like I'm going to throw up, constantly. Especially when I try to eat something. I've also been getting pretty dizzy. I know its Flu season and all that, but I have yet to actually throw up.
