What Causes Head Reeling After Vomiting Post Gall Bladder Operation?
Puspalata, 40 years old women. Getting head reeling for the last 10 days. It started 10 days before after heavy vomiting. Doctor suggested not to take head bath and to take PAN-40, Glevo and Nasvion to clear the nose. In between I fell down while standing. Let me know the reasons. I had GB stone operation 2 months before. No high BP or diabetic.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your symptoms of head reeling is not related to gall bladder operation, and needs to be evaluated.
The possible causes could include BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) and postural hypotension.
In BPPV, there is an ear dysfunction, and ENT opinion would help.
To diagnose postural hypotension, your BP needs to be checked in lying down position and on standing up.
Your haemoglobin also needs to be checked, as low haemoglobin can also cause similar symptoms.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
