Headache: A complex migraine can cause vertigo, blurry vision, weakness, and nausea. Try otc migraine meds such as exedrin. If some relief see your primary doctor for meds used in preventing migraines.

All Over Map: Sounds like you need a more complete workup for the severe low back pain. Whether the back pain is causing nausea is not clear, but possible. You need to see your primary doctor and perhaps have some blood work done and even a ct of your abdomen/pelvis to rule out causes other than the spine causing back pain. For example, your kidneys, ovaries, colon etc. Aneurism should be ruled out as well.
