for the past week and a half (about) i have been experiencing horrible stomach cramp, EXTREME nausea (like my whole school day is concentrated on looking to a place to throw up) fatigue (i slept through my alarm (a complete 54 minute jazz cd) and sometimes it hurts when i breathe (lasts for no more than a few minutes). i have also had really bad headaches and sometimes get really really dizzy.
is this just some kind of virus or something or should i be concerned?

While this may be a virus you should not have continued problems after a week and a half. If you have been vomiting then this could account for the dizziness and even the headaches. Both of these are symptoms of dehydration which often occurs with frequent vomiting. As many others have said it is important that you seek urgent medical attention and find out what is wrong. Take care and I hope you feel better soon.

A headache is a condition of pain in the head; sometimes neck or upper back pain may also be interpreted as a headache. It ranks amongst the most common local pain complaints.
Headaches have a wide variety of causes, ranging from eye strain, sinusitis, migraine and tension .
The most common type of headache is a tension headache which may be caused by posture. Some experience headaches when dehydrated, or suffering from caffeine withdrawal symptoms. Headaches may also be caused in some people by certain foods, such as peanuts, or food additives, such as tartrazine. They may also be caused by fumes, such as from a faulty heating boiler or from vehicles.
Sometimes, these cluster type headaches will be so severe that they make you feel dizzy and nauseous because of the severe pain. The accompanying stomach cramps or stomach upset is due to the overproduction of acids brought on by stress.
Headaches are caused by the release of the brain chemicals of neuropeptides and serotonins . In addition, severe stomach cramps and fatigue and headaches might be all caused by the premenstrual cycle of the inbalance of the hormones of estrogen and progesterone, high blood pressure or most likely a case of bad sinusitis. It could also be related if you consume too much coffee which contain caffeine. Or it could be related to lack of quality sleep as you also complain of fatigue. Or it could be due to some stress or underlying problem that you are facing right now. Another cause coudl be eyestrain or the need of eyeglasses.
Treatment of uncomplicated headache is usually symptomatic with over-the-counter painkillers such as aspirin, paracetamol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen, although some specific forms of headaches (e.g., migraines) may demand other, more suitable treatment, usually triptans. It may be possible to relate the occurrence of a headache to the consumption of a particular food, which can then be avoided.
I get these terrific headaches accompanied by dizziness and nausea and stomach upset when my sinuses get full or after consumption of too many nuts such as peanuts, walnuts, pecans, cashews etc.

It sounds a lot like anxiety/depression? Have you been stressed or worried lately? I still get a lot of these symptoms when I'm worried or stressed out. Hope you get to feeling better.

Pregnancy...
Any number of viruses...
Any number of more serious/dangerous medical conditions...
You ate something that your body can't digest properly...
You haven't made an appointment to see a doctor yet...(hint hint)

It sounds like you are either severely constipated, or you are dehydrated, I highly doubt that could be any sort of pregnancey unless you are going through a miscarriage

Could be glandular fever (mono). See your doctor, and don't drink any alcohol until you have the results back.
