Dizziness

6 days post op I became incredibly dizzy. The room spins out of control. I am now 11 days post op and still dizzy. Not as bad but still dizzy. My surgeon said he would scheduled an IV infusion that should help. Anyone else had these symptoms?

Sounds like dehydration or BP.

When I'm not getting enough water I get this way, I immediately stay drinking more anyway I can.

Other, do you take BP meds? Do you check your bp regularly? They could need adjusting.

If you are dehydrated, you can exhibit these symptoms. It alters your electrolyte balance in your body.

Low blood pressure might seem desirable, and for some people, it causes no problems. However, for many people, abnormally low blood pressure (hypotension) can cause dizziness and fainting.

Abnormally low blood pressure (hypotension) can cause dizziness and fainting. So if you were on high blood pressure meds prior to surgery, these may also need to be adjusted downward.

There are probably other conditions that can lead towards this sensation.
