Are Nausea, Pain, Dizziness And Bloated Stomach After-effects Of Flu?
My husband has been ill with a flu bug but is over it now. However, he had bad pains in his stomach during the illness and though he is not experiencing symptoms of the flu he still feels nauseous, dizzy and has bad pains. He has had a heart attack before but feels that this is not the same. He says he has a feeling of being full, bloated and feels sick and light headed immediately after and during a meal.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of nausea, pain, dizziness and bloated stomach which can occur due to many reasons such as irritable bowel syndrome, some medications like antidepressants, eating a lot of dairy products, acidity and lack of fibers in diet. Identification of cause is most important. You should avoid intake of hot, sharp and spicy food substances. For now drink lot of water , do light exercises and avoid fatty and heavy meals. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order colonoscopy or other tests to look for blockages in your colon. You should get barium studies and blood test for hormonal changes. Doctor may prescribe you stool softeners as well. Doctor may also refer you to ENT specialist for ear problem .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
