Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
If you use computer a lot or read a lot then the symptoms of headache, dizziness, and vomiting could be due to compression of the spinal nerves in the cervical spine region. This can happen due to overuse of computers, work involving straining of neck, herniated disc, canal stenosis, bone disease, spondylosis, poor posture etc. A MRI of the cervical spine and nerve conduction studies may be required. Please consult a neurologist. Physiotherapy will help you and hence you should learn neck exercises to relieve neck strain.
Get your blood pressure checked. This can also cause headache with dizziness. TMJ is another possibility. If you have been out in sun a lot or drink less of fluids then it can also be due to electrolyte imbalance or dehydration. Benign intracranial hypertension also causes dizziness with headache and a spinal tap is confirmatory. It can be a migraine attack too. But yes, all these causes should be evaluated. Consult a doctor immediately. Take care!

It is possible you could have a sinus infection. Sometime the nausea can be caused by drainage. Your dizziness/vertigo could be caused by fluid in the ears brought on by the sinus infection. I would suggest seeing your doctor you might need to be on an anitbiotic. Hope this helps

ive been having the same problems for a few months now. been getting checked over and over, so far, only thing thats come up is nasal polyps, cysts in the sinuses, which can cause all these symptoms and a few others. go to the er, complain of extreme head pain nausea, and mental confusion. if you get nauseous while youre there, dont try to hold it in, because theyll probably take care of you sooner if you let it out. your goal is to have them scan your head for issues. if you go to your dr, youll probably be referred to an ent who will most likely only do a ct scan of your sinuses, which is helpful, but the problem may not be just the sinuses.
