Dizziness

This may not be a common sign of gallbladder problems although some patients have complained of dizzy spells. Dizziness can be traced to a number of problems the most common being due to an infection which spreads to the bloodstream triggering shock which in turn, decreases blood pressure significantly. Sudden or consistent drops in blood pressure can trigger dizziness as well as other problems like lightheadedness, confusion, and fainting.

This symptom can also be caused by vagus nerve problems, i.e., the nerve responsible for regulating blood pressure. The vagus nerve can be stimulated by gallbladder problems which can cause a decrease in blood pressure resulting in dizziness.
