dizzy and lightheaded

I'm 6 weeks post op and for the past 2 days, I've been so weak, no energy and very dizzy and lightheaded every time I stand up, to the point where I feel like I may pass out. Anyone else experience this?

I'm a little over 2 weeks post op and the past 2 days driving in my car ready to pass out and feeling very weak. I live in nj and it's been really warm the past couple days. I'm not sure if that has anything to so with it or what! I hope we feel better!

sounds like your not getting enough, water and/or protein. Could also be low BP.

i had that problem-- my iron was low and so were my B vitamins

To the 2 week post-op - make sure you're taking in enough calories! I experienced the same thing and collapsed twice due to too few calories.

To the 6 week post-op - are you on blood pressure medication? I agree with the response above that it could be low B/P - check with your doctor.
