What sinfield said is prob more likely what is the prob, and sometimes when u get stressed periods can change etc. You could try a preg test and see what it says tho if you feel it could be a possibility because when I was pregnant I became slightly amaemic and fainted. I also had a lot of nausea.
I think definately go to the dr tho, if they do preg tests there for free you could mention you think you could be and let her rule it out (or in!) for you
Do you use tampons? IT actually happens more than women think, but if you somehow forget to take out a tampon it can have those exact effects too. This is extremely embarrasing, but it is worth passing along. A couple of years ago, I somehow forgot to take out a tampon ( I have no idea how it happened because I am so cautious about those things) but I started having a foul odour and yellowish/brownish discharge. I think I caught it pretty fast though because no real problems came about, but went to teh doctor real fast & they took it out. The concern is that if a tampon is in too long it can cause Toxic Shock Syndrome (totally treatable with antibiotics), but symptoms can be jsut as you are describing too. You really should go to the doctor as soon as possible, tell them your symptoms and they should even fit you in sometime within today or next day.
On second thought, I say you get your **** checked out PRONTO. It's not cool to be leaving streak marks in your underoos when a doc could sort it out for you. make sure you wash good, too before you touch your poor boyfriend.
