Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
The symptoms are not specific for any brain disease. However, these are unlikely to be related to earlier hydrocephalus or shunt surgery.
The shunt-related complications may lead to headache, vomiting or fever.
You may check your blood sugar and blood pressure after eating, as sudden changes in either of them may cause dizziness.
As of now, there is no need to worry.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
