Dizzy - 3 months and 3 weeks post op

[Flutterfly19 15]

I have had 2 dizzy spells today...pretty strong, and both have been while sitting down. All of a sudden, I feel very dizzy. I'm almost 4 months post op and get plenty of Water in and have had no troubles eating. Any suggestions/input?

If you really are getting enough fluids and sleep, My first guess would be low Iron. My second guess would be low Vitamin D. That has happened to me when I've been low on those.

If you are getting plenty of fluids and Protein, call your doctor and have you blood levels check. You may have a nutrient deficiency.

I found for month's 2 to 6 post op i was quite dizzy at times also. In the past month it has gotten better. My doctor said it is likely because my heartrate and blood pressure are so much lower then before surgery and my body is still adjusting. (Ekg was normal). My bp was 140/110 and heart rate was 85 to 95 preop and now bp is 110/65 and heart rate is 50 to 60. My doctor said if it continues to the 12 month mark we will run more tests but in the past few weeks i find it rarely happens now. Talk to your doc to rule out any serious issues but it can be pretty normal. My friend that had surgery also found the same thing for the first year. Good luck and be super careful and talk to your doctor. If you lose consciousness make sure you go to an er and don't just ignore it!!
