What Causes Dizziness After Gallbladder Removal?

2 1/2 weeks after gallbladder removal I started getting dizzy. It subsides when I turn my head quickly. I notice that a lot of people have persistant dizziness or vertigo following gallbladder surgery. I've been to the doctor who recommended sinus rince and decongestant. What do you think?

Hello.
I understand the problem that you are going through.
Dizziness and vertigo are unrelated to Cholecystectomy i.e. removal of gall bladder. This seems to be a pure coincidence which you have noticed.
Investigations should be done to find out the cause of dizziness.
Hope you get well soon.
Thank you.
