Can you please shine some light on the situation! Doctor: Hi I have gone through your query...Here you have enlarge abdomen with dizziness ....If variceal bleed there then through blood loss dizziness can occur....Hypoglycemia , heart failure can lead dizziness....For that sugar estimation and ECG done...If variceal bleed occured as you have mentioned in history then endoscopic band ligation or sclerotherapy useful....Here by sodium and water retention edema can be there....For that diuretic like furosemide tablet can be taken...Take care.Consult gastroentetologist for further guidence and therapy....Dr.Parth
