I just had my gallbladder removed last thursday and had felt pretty good but today I went to the mall and felt like I was going to pass out. I came home and checked my bp and it was in normal range I drank alot off water and ate but it hasn't quite gone away could it be something more serious
This looks to me like so-called postcholecystectomy syndrome which has all these symptoms and this occurs in about 10% of people who undergo cholecystectomy, usually can be transient, and rarely persistent or lifelong.
Symptoms include systemic symptoms such as sweating and heat sense but also dyspepsia, nausea, and vomiting, flatulence, bloating and diarrhea, persistent pain in the upper right abdomen.
Some individuals may benefit from diet modification such as a reduced fat diet, following cholecystectomy since it may be more difficult for digestion of fatty foods. Postcholecystectomy syndrome treatment depends on the identified violations that led to it. Typically, the person is recommended dietary restriction table with fatty foods, enzyme preparations, antispasmodics, sometimes oral ursodeoxycholic acid can alleviate the condition.
