Light Headed/ Dizzy

[Jbaz777 43]

I am 2 weeks post op. I noticed that when I bend over or stand up too quick I get really light headed and feel like im going to pass out. I often have to hold the wall and close my eyes for a minute for the sensation to stop. Anyone ever experience this post op?

Very common with low blood pressure....maybe with the weight loss and healthy diet your BP is running slightly low? Make sure you are getting enough fluids and move slow! If its not getting better let your doc know.

It was my blood pressure running low. Went to doc today, they did sitting standing bp. Sitting 90/60, & standing 80/60. I was extremely light headed. So he gave me instructions on what to do. So hopefully will fix problem.

I went to the doctor today and was told to make sure I'm getting my fluids and Proteins in, to prevent the light headed feeling.

Sorry I havent responded. Got busy behind going back to work. My dr. told me to just sit still and close my eyes when I had the spells. Had to cut back on my heart meds also. This really isnt much helpful info. Still having spells but not as often.
