Vertigo?

[southernbelle256 101]

I am almost 3 weeks post-op.

I woke up this morning with terrible vertigo. I've never had vertigo in my life.

Has anyone else had this?

I realize it could be totally unrelated to surgery.

How is your Fluid intake? It could be a sign of dehydration.

Probably not the best but I'm trying. Worked really hard on it today so hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Are you still on blood pressure meds? I was sent home from surgery with no change in bp meds. A few weeks later I experienced a real drop in blood pressure and passed out cold. The meds were no longer needed and also contributed to dehydration.

I am off the bp meds and doing so much better. Just a thought that might apply to you.

I've never been on any meds. I typically have a lower BP than average.

I have vertigo all the time. I am two months post op I do as much fluids as I can and to eat 500 calories a day as instructed. However I have vertigo all the time.... The doctor says to drink more..... Its normal and annoying but if it makes you nervous then call the doctor.
