What Does Lightheadness And Nausea Indicate?

For the past 2 days I have been feeling lightheaded, nauseated, and just generally really NOT good. I ve felt like I was fighting a cold a little over a week now. The morning I started feeling sick I took some medicine at about 7am on Black Friday morning to sleep. I took an herbal supplement that I am trying (it was my 2nd time taking it), but a couple hours earlier I had also taken dayquil, at around 7am I also took some dramamine as I usually do if I have an upset stomach (I found it works better for me than pepto). Later that day I got up and I feel like my whole house is swaying, anytime I go to walk I start to tip, I am very nauseaus, and still dizzy. My right ear has been hurting, I feel like I have to pop it by blowing my nose (which is stuffed) and it hurts really bad when I pop it. I am also on my period and having pain in my lower right side (not sure if it is related to my period or to whatever else is going on. Should I go in, or could this just be the flu?
