I've had my surgery April 2,2014 and a week later I started to feel sick. Dr ran test and everything seems to be fine. But I'm always feeling dizzy and when I stand up I feel like I'm going to faint. Even when I'm in the shower. I cannot stand up for a long period of time. Has anyone felt like this.

I am on Iron tablets which I have to take with Vit C as it makes the iron tablets work better. I wax faint with no energy and found that my iron was down.

I had similar symptoms including extreme weakness and muscle aches. Turned out I had extremely low potassium levels which can be very dangerous if untreated. I've been to the hospital 2x b/c of this. My immune system is so low, i also now have bronchitis with contact ant fevers. I am starting to regret this surgery 7 weeks out. I still can't eat more than a tsp. Of any food, and most make me nauseous. Can't exercise because I have no energy. I've been sick almost every day since surgery. At least before, I had energy. I hope things will get better with time. Have your potassium checked.
