Could stomach bug lead to lingering headache and dizziness?

Had the stomach bug for a few days and that went away. Next a headache and dizziness appeared for 2 days straight and it's not going away.

Answered on 10th July '24

Headache and dizziness are symptoms of many things such as dehydration stress or also the lingering effects from the bug itself. Help your body heal by making sure you drink enough water and rest. If they continue keep an eye on these symptoms and seek further advice from a Gastroenterologist if necessary.

I am suffering from constipation since 1 week

Male | 25

The condition indicates difficulty with bowel movements. It could happen if you don't eat enough fiber, do not have enough water, and do not have enough physical activity. Symptoms are abdominal fullness, dry, hard stools, and sluggish bowel movements. Please, consider advice like incorporating fruits, vegetables, and complex carbohydrates into your diet to relieve the symptoms. Daily physical activity and increased intake of water will facilitate the process as well.

I am a 51 year old female and I have been having diarrhea and squishy poops and sometimes the poops can’t come out so I have to use my finger to get them out, so I am wondering why I keep getting these symptoms?

Female | 51

Having diarrhea or soft poop could be due to many things such as infections or food sensitivities while difficulty passing stool could mean constipation. You need to eat more fiber, drink plenty of water, and also go for a medical check-up to know exactly what is wrong with you.

i’m 16yo I’ve had the flu for 5 days now and my dr prescribed me with ibuprofen for my fever and headache but it caused me to develop an ulcer i got sudden stomach cramps like the type where you need to poo so i went to the bathroom my poo was red i did some research and i think it might be GI bleeding i’ve been to the bathroom 5 times since and every time there’s been blood every time i’m worried but my mom won’t take me to the hospital, she says we can go tomorrow

Female | 16

Red poop can be a symptom of bleeding in the digestive tract, which may be caused by the ulcer and ibuprofen. Stomach cramps and frequent visits to the bathroom are also the reasons for this. This requires immediate medical assistance for the diagnosis and treatment. It would be better if you refused to wait until tomorrow.

Hello. Two weeks ago, during weight training, I had a sudden pain in my lower abdominal. It was so painful that I could not move. I thought it might be cramping, but it worsened every second and in addition, I did not have any period for almost 4 months. I am 15 years old. Though, earlier in the morning before I had this unexpected pain, I had a little spotting. I have then been to the emergency room, where after 3 hours my pain stopped. I have been suspected with a small cyst rupture, however, there was no evidence indicating that the cyst had ruptured. We have done both lab works and an ultrasound and everything was absoultly normal. It is also important to mention that I had a cyst a year ago, but then it disappeared as we did another ultrasound, but for the last year I did not check it. 3 days after my pain, I have done another ultrasound and everything was fine. Another thing to mention, during the day I was at the ER, I came home and I had straight blood when I peed. The next day everything was absolutely normal without any spotting neither red or brown, everything was clear. Since then I have been having pain when I am doing sports activities and when my lower abdomendan is touched. (both left and right side). However, in the last couple days I have been having servere pain in my upper left abdomonen. When I had that terrible pain, it was mainly on the left side. Currently I am having severe pain on my upper left side, and additionally I always have a pain of hunger that feels as my stomach is sore and burns. What is going on? Can it be related to a spleen? Gastritis? Maybe there was not cyst burst?

Digestive system not work properly

Male | 23

If our stomach isn't functioning properly, it can cause bloating, gas, and digestive problems like constipation or diarrhea. These issues might arise from eating too quickly, not drinking enough water, or stress. To improve digestion, try eating slowly, drinking plenty of water, and consuming more fiber-rich foods like fruits and vegetables.

Female | 32

It appears that you have Grade 2 Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, along with an enlarged liver and spleen due to fat deposits. This condition can result from obesity, high cholesterol, or diabetes, and symptoms may include fatigue, abdominal pain, and weight loss. To improve your health, focus on a healthy, balanced diet, regular exercise, and closely monitor your cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to discuss my ongoing gastrointestinal issues that have persisted despite my recent surgery for chronic constipation and rectal prolapse. I underwent a laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy, but I am still experiencing significant problems related to anal hypotension and hypocontractility, as well as prolonged Balloon Expulsion Test (BET) results indicative of Type 1 Dyssynergia. Despite the surgical intervention, I continue to struggle with inadequate anal sphincter tone and a reduced ability to contract effectively. These issues have led to ongoing difficulties with bowel control and frequent episodes of constipation. The prolonged BET results suggest that my pelvic floor muscles are still not coordinating properly during bowel movements. Given my history and the current symptoms, I would greatly appreciate your expertise in identifying the next steps for management. Specifically, I am interested in exploring options such as pelvic floor rehabilitation, biofeedback therapy, or any further diagnostic evaluations that may be necessary to address these issues effectively. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your guidance on how we can best proceed to improve my condition.

Male | 60

These issues might be due to problems with the pelvic floor muscles not functioning properly during bowel movements. Pelvic floor rehabilitation could help by improving muscle coordination and strength in the pelvic area, potentially aiding in better bowel control. Another option is biofeedback therapy, which uses sensors to teach you how to coordinate your muscles during bowel movements. Discuss these options with your medical team to find the best approach for you. Additional diagnostic tests might be needed to understand the situation better.
