Dizziness Like Dropping Pebble In Pond Creating Ripples, Followed By Weakness, Sweat. History Of Diarrhea, Family Tragedy. Suggest

I have been experiencing what I can best describe as dizziness that I liken to dropping a pebble in a pond & results in outward ripples. This has only started since a severe bout of diarrhoea that lasted about 10 days after the death of my mother a few weeks ago. I now have the beginning of a cold to further complicate things. This dizziness I've never experienced it's like before. After a "ripple" feel weak & sweaty. Stress, grief, electrolyte deficiency ???? Any answers. Thanks. ... Amy

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your symptoms could be due to electrolyte imbalance, especially looking at your history of diarrhea, mostly due to hyponatremia (low sodium).
In addition, stress could be aggravating it.
Please ensure adequate nutrition and sleep. If you do not get better, please see a GP.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
