Dizziness & nausea



Recommended Posts

Whenever I take a shower I become dizzy and nauseous. Does this happen to anyone else? I'm 1 week postop and I think it may be due to my blood pressure dropping. I do not have a bp machine to check it though. I also get short of breath.

Heavens, call your doctor. You do not want to have a fall. Maybe you can put a stool in the shower, too, for today? But call your MD today and be careful. Good luck.

Mean while increase your Water intake as much as possible. It sounds like you make be getting dehydrated too. Dehydration does cause blood to thicken and blood pressure to get lower....So drink up and don't worry about eating too much today. If possible drink some Protein Shakes and eat soups......Glad you have a doctor's appt tomorrow....if it gets worst take care of you and go to urgent care or the ER.......

I had this happen just once about 1-2 week post op and yes it was in the shower. Thought I was going to pass out or puke. Never did find out why but suspect it had to do with the blood pressure. If it is continuing definately get it checked out. It never re occured for me thank goodness. Scared the shit out of me. Everything else has been great! Down 33 pounds in 7 weeks! :)

I was very faint--barely able to stand up from day 8 to 15---turns out it was my blood pressure. Doctor took me off all my meds and I felt much better within a couple of days. feel better soon and definitely contact you doctor!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
