Dizziness/Feeling of fainting

[NatashaSaysRawr 16]

I'm only 3 weeks about to be 4 weeks out of surgery, but now I'm starting to get dizzy and I almost fainted about two times today, I been drinking plenty of Water, took my Vitamins and my Protein so what could it possibly be?

It could be orthostatic hypotension. Have you had your blood pressure checked? Does it happen mostly when you stand up after sitting or lying down for a while?

I'm almost 4 weeks out and have had similar problems. Probably low blood pressure. You should monitor your blood pressure and contact your doctor.

My first answer would be to have your blood pressure checked. But from your posts on another thread, you mentioned you eat once/day and drink Water, tea and Gatorade the rest of the time. So it could be good old fashioned starvation/malnutrition/low blood sugar. Like I mentioned in the other thread, try eating a couple spoonfuls every few hours.

I'm 10 days out, and this has happened to me yesterday and today also.

Sip, sip, sip....Happens to me often since surgery, especially when I am working in the yard. For me, it is always related to dehydration.
