snapy17 39 Posted March 29, 2017 I'm 6 weeks post op. I get very dizzy & light headed when I stand up. Just started a week ago. Anyone else experience anything similar ? I have an appt to see my primary tomorrow but this forum has such wealth of answers I had to ask. 1 Stephinae Howard reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike_s 32 Posted March 29, 2017 I'm 3 years out and still get that way. It will get better but may not go away. I usually have it happen because I need to drink more Water or I need to eat.Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk 1 Stephinae Howard reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have an appt to see my primary tomorrow but this forum has such wealth of answers I had to ask. I think it's lack of food and/or not enough Water -- blood pressure can elevate when u don't have enough water which can cause the dizziness 1 Ready4theday reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrittBritt89 15 Posted March 30, 2017 I'm having this same problem and was curious about why it was happening... it mostly happens when I get up from a squatting position Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike_s 32 Posted March 30, 2017 You'll probably get better once you're farther out.Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michilingi 66 Posted March 31, 2017 I experienced this for the 1st 3-4 months, and thankfully it has gone away completely, just keep up with your fluids. But it is normal since you body is still trying ot regulate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
