Giddiness and loose motions mean the medicine is not suiting your body or dose may be high. Punarnava has strong diuretic and detox action, which can sometimes cause these symptoms.
Drink plenty of water / ORS
Take light food (rice, curd, banana, khichdi
Restart only after consulting an Ayurvedic doctor and with proper dose
For weight loss, it is better to focus on diet control + daily walking/exercise rather than continuing if side effects are present.
