Just looking for feedback if I should call my surgeon or pcp. This weekend I have had terrible dizziness with vertigo and a headache in my forehead that won't go away. It started Saturday morning and I actually was in a store and had to grab onto something to keep from falling! The dizziness is especially bad when I first lie down, or move arouNd while lying down, or get up from a lying or sitting position. Just wondering if this could be associated with the surgery. I had rny on 3/14.

I also get dizzy and i am 7 months postop' date=' my labs resulted indicated that i was low in B1.... I am now getting shots ... It slowly has gone away....[/quote']

I have my follow up for labs tomorrow. Hopefully they are all ok Labs were the first thing I thought about when this happened.

Vertigo is a terrible thing. One thing that you can take to help with the symptoms and is over the counter is meclizine - a motion sickness pill. Ask at the pharmacy for it - it is readily available and cheap. Best of luck - this pill was magic when I had vertigo.

That's the meds they gave me. Been helping a lot! They've also offered me a patch too? Have you had any experience with one of those?

yes, there is a motion sickness patch, you put it behind your ear - I actually had that in the hospital for nausea - I had forgotten about that until your mentioned it. Definitely try it to help, because vertigo is about the worse thing I have ever experienced - couldn't even get up off the bed. Mine resolved - think it was caused by a virus, I hope yours gets better.
