Post-Surgery Recovery: Dizziness, Weakness & Blood Pressure - What's Normal?


Question
I had my surgery 2 weeks ago. I currently am on my 2 week liquid diet w/protein shakes. I am walking daily, increasing distance each day. I am feeling very dizzy and weak and times and my b/p tends to drop significantly.  Is this normal?

Answer
Jenn,

If you are only two weeks post-op you and are having uncomfortable symptoms, please call your surgeon.  Any symptom arising this soon after surgery needs to be evaluated by your doctor.  Do not follow online advice for something like this, please.  Call your doctor today.

Most sincerely,

Dr. Jacques
