Light Headed, Dizziness, Stomach Pain, Mild Diarrhea. Had Appendectomy 3 Weeks Ago. Normal?
I had an appendectomy 3 weeks ago. Yesterday and today I've been light headed and dizzy. Last night I was awaken by stomach ache which sent me straight to the restroom. Mild diarreha but felt better afterwards. Today I'm feeling some dull pain in my right lower abdomen. Is this normal or should I consult the doctor?

Hi ! Did you eat anything from outside ? In that case, it could be a mild attack of gastro enteritis unrelated to the surgery. You can consult your doctor who may after clinicallly examining you may confirm the diagnosis, and prescribe some anti diarrhoeal antibiotics, an anti spasmodic, and a probiotic. If the problem persists or increases, you may have to go for an ultrasound abdomen/CT scan after consulting your treating doctor. I wish you an early recovery.
