Hello, : Hello, i can't predict that. However, if she has an infection accompanying the gallstones and a fever; it may be causing something called rigors. Usually once the temperature normalizes, this would improve.

Adverse drugreaction: Many of the drugs used for nausea are Dopamine blocking agents, and these agents may be commonly associated with a variety of movement problems, including uncontrollable shaking. Anticholinergic drugs may help reduce this, and are sometimes used together with anti-emetic drugs which produce the problem. It should go away within 24 hours, and she should consider this an "allergy.".
