I saw my GP on thursday and she sent me for a cxr and abd. xray which were ok...should I be concerned?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor Sometimes your body system takes a longer time to recover. Since you have normal investigation reports you need not worry, do not take stress, try to relax and concentrate on recovery. To have normal bowel movement keep yourself properly HY Chat Doctor.  Antacids will help the bloating feeling get better.  Take small quantities of food 3-4 times, take vitamin and mineral supplements. Avoid spicy oily food. Dizziness and low BP are due to weakness and low HBO, hemoglobin levels in your blood. You will recover soon, You need rest.  However, if you feel too low do contact your treating doctor. Take care.
