[25F] Experiencing dizziness, stomach discomfort, and other symptoms

What might be happening

Based on the information you've provided, possible conditions include:

• Vestibular Migraine: This is a type of migraine that may or may not cause a headache, but can cause a variety of debilitating symptoms affecting the ears, balance and vision. The dizziness and spinning sensation you're experiencing, along with the throbbing headache on one side of your head, could be indicative of this condition.

  • Treatment typically involves medications to control the symptoms, and lifestyle changes to avoid triggers.

• Gastroenteritis: This is an inflammation of the lining of the intestines caused by a virus, bacteria or parasites. Viral gastroenteritis is particularly common and is highly infectious. The stomach discomfort and nausea you're experiencing could be symptoms of this condition.

  • Treatment usually involves rest, hydration, and over-the-counter remedies.

• Postcholecystectomy Syndrome: This refers to the presence of abdominal symptoms after surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy), as you had a few months ago. Symptoms are typically similar to those seen in gallbladder disease and can include abdominal pain and nausea.

  • Treatment can vary depending on the cause of the symptoms, and may include medications or further surgery.

Please note that these are possibilities based on the symptoms you've described, and not a definitive diagnosis. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.

What you can do

1. For the dizziness, try to avoid sudden changes in position, especially from lying down to standing up. This might help reduce the spinning sensation.
2. Stay hydrated and eat small, frequent meals to help manage your nausea and stomach discomfort.
3. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage your headache, but be sure to follow the package instructions.
4. Keep a symptom diary. Note down when your symptoms occur, what you're doing at the time, and what foods you've eaten. This could help identify any patterns or triggers, and will be useful information for your doctor.

What you should look out for

Please seek immediate medical attention if:

• Your symptoms worsen or don't improve in the next few days.
• You experience severe abdominal pain.
• You have a high fever (temperature over 100.4°F).
• You notice blood in your stool or vomit.
• You become dehydrated (symptoms can include extreme thirst, dry mouth, dark yellow urine, or little or no urine).
