Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The diarrhea and dizziness is unrelated to trigger point injection. The diarrhea is most likely gastroenteritis. And dizziness is usually associated with diarrhea due to fluid loss. So make sure that you stay hydrated.Drink plenty of electrolyte containing fluids like Gatorade. Follow soft diet until the diarrhea subsides.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
