Extreme weakness

[vbgirl264 28]

I had surgery in January and I've been Doing great however today I am very very weak and have a bad headache and had a couple dizzy spells. I am having trouble writing this because my arms feel so weak. Is this normal

I would check with my surgeon or primary care physician about this. Light headedness and weakness should not be ignored. I tend to want to wait before I make a call to my primary care and have ended up hospitalized 3 times as a result. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Well I don't really wanna call my surgeon on primary doctor because I just recently moved an hour away from both of them. I haven't had a chance to get a new doctor up here yet

How are your Protein, Water, and caloric intake? If I'm short on any of those, I get very weak and dizzy. Just a thought. Feel better soon!

My first question is are you on any blood pressure medications?? My second question is how is your liquid count today? You could be dehydrated, you might want to try drinking some chicken broth. This works well to restore some normal balance. You can feel weak and dizzy with low sodium and dehydration. If you don't start feeling better there is not harm in contacting your primary doctor. If you are taking medications they may need to be adjusted.
