Dizziness, Tiredness, back of neck pain.

[ltdaniel 16]

Ok guys. I have been doing pretty good. I am into daynumer13. I have until July 3, but I am noticing my breathing is changing I am just aware of. I have dizziness and feeling as if I am going to faint.The back of my neck is hurting which is also draining me. My breathing when paying attention is shallow, deep and I am holding my breath.- i can not see what I am writing so I hope this post makes sense. Have anyone experience this.

First, if anything seems unusual or different for you contact your surgeon/team or go to your closest medical centre. Because it’s your breathing that’s affected I’d probably head to the medical centre to rule out a clot or any other issue.

Lightheadedness & dizziness is pretty common after surgery. It could be low blood pressure, hypoglycaemia or simply because you’re eating so little. Plus you’re recovering from a pretty major surgery which has been a considerable shock to your body. Try adding an electrolyte drink to your daily Fluid intake. I used to find the extra boost of energy very helpful.

Yes as Arabesque says Contact your team or go to the ER. Something is wrong. It could be as simple as a panic attack or a chest infection but these things always need sorting out

Basic first aide says anything involving breathing is a life saving matter to pay attention to, and seek medical attention ASAP. Try to go to your primary care doctor or medical WLS doctor and they can help you get more prompt care in hospital if that’s what you need. Best wishes!

@learn2cook @summerseeker @Arabesque
Greeting everyone! Thanks for all you guys feedback, but I am experiencing these things pre op. I have not even had the surgery yet.

Still seek medical help for the breathing.

The pre surgery diet could be contributing to the light headedness & dizziness. You may be experiencing some withdrawal from salt, sugar, caffeine, etc. too.
