I'm 3 weeks post op and every time I stand up I get woozy/ dizzy. I'm drinking enough, getting my protein and I'm off my pain meds. It's strange that it started just yesterday. Anybody with a similiar story?

Are you on blood pressure meds? Maybe you don't need them anymore.

I was just going to post a similar question but I read this and thought I'd just tag along. I'm 5 weeks out with the same symptoms plus very tired and lacking energy. I know it's not hydration or protein and my labs all came back 10 days ago and they were spot on. From week 3 to week 5 I felt absolutely great and then this happened. Any ideas?

I get that every once in a while too and I am 12 weeks out today. I am thinking fluid intake is lacking a bit for me but...I also find if I sit for a extended period of time and get up quickly I get the dizzy feeling too, just for a few seconds tho. I would call your doc to see what he thinks. Good luck to you!

I was just about to post this! Twice today when I stood up I felt like I could pass out. I literally laid on the floor to prevent myself from passing out. I am on blood pressure meds (though I've never had high blood pressure I take it for my heart palpitations) so I'm wondering if it makes my blood pressure too low?
