Extreme dizziness and nausea more than a week after taking Ella (emergency contraceptive)

I had unprotected sex one day after my scheduled ovulation day. My partner ejaculated inside me. I am not on any form of birth control at the moment. I took Ella emergency contraceptive 23 hours later.
The next day I began to feel tired and a little nauseous and dizzy. These symptoms persisted for aprox 4 days post-pill and then seemed to begin to subside on days 4 and 5. However, the symptoms came back fairly strong on day 6 and, now, today on day 7, I can hardly stand. I am incredibly dizzy, light headed and nauseated. I have bloating, stomach cramps, headache. The symptoms are now significantly worse than they were in days passed. In particular, the dizziness is concerning to me. I can hardly function. All I want to do I lie down and sleep. I can't focus at work. Feel like I want to vomit.

Additional note: Under normal circustances, I am schedule to begin my period in 4 days.
Are these side effects unusual? Should I see a doctor? I imagine it would be too soon for signs of pregnancy, but could this be a factor?
I don't want to pay for medical costs if these side effects are relatively normal. I'm just worried something else may be going on.
Does any one have any insight? Advice?
