What Causes Dizziness And Diarrhea After Taking Norovirus?
I am pretty sure I had Norovirus last Sunday. That afternoon I got dizzy and had diaahrea and was sweating all over. Then I got the chills and went to bed. I had diarhea that day and the next day I took Kaopectac. I felt better but it wasn t until the next Friday that I had a bowel movement since I had taken Kaopectac. It was blackish, brownish, greenish. It continued that same color Saturday and what does this color mean?

Hello,
Dizziness and diarrhoea are due to electrolyte imbalance with intestine flora upset via norovirus.
The change in the colour and consistency of the stool indicate underlying intestine infection.
Needs hydration maintenance, GI-specific antibiotics as Rifaximin or else with intestine flora replacement ( i.e. lactobacillus ) for a speedy recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
