Is feeling sick after passing a stone normal?

I passed my stone Sunday afternoon, after it had been diagnosed on Tuesday morning

It's Tuesday again now and I'm still in pain, super nauseous and lightheaded, and I just feel totally worn out

That was my very first stone, so I'm not sure if feeling this way is normal

Could be more stones on the way. Personally, the second a stone passes I feel better right away.

+1 to this. I felt way better once it was out. You might want to check in with your urologist or GP.

I usually feel pretty wiped out and exhausted after a stone too, and I don't always bounce right back either. Lately I've been passing more than one at a time, so I'm never sure when it's actually over. But watch your temperature and any other signs of a UTI or infection — for me, nausea is sometimes one of the first signs of an infection.
