Thank you

Hi.
The reason for soreness / pain in abdomen on getting up could have been gastroenteritis.
The Swaying of the head, dizziness and light headedness could have been die to Vertigo.
This in turn could have been a true vertigo or due to electrolyte imbalance or dehydration.
Get a clinical examination and vitals checked.
Watch for loose motions, nausea, vomiting and fever.
Get a treatment with an antibiotic and anti-vertigo tablets and as per the clinical findings.
The investigations may then be needed if there is no response.
Blood , urine, stool, ultrasonography of the abdomen, serum electrolytes, CT brain and ears for vertigo, MRI ANGIO of the neck and head if required.
