Hi Barbara,

I have had problems with being dizzy in the past couple of years off and on. It didn't start after surgery for me, in fact, I don't know how it started. It is a condition you could ask your docs to check out. It is called benign paroxysmal postitional vertigo. I have read than it can start after surgery because you are in a supine position. I found some info on this subject at http://www.tchain.com/otoneurology/disorders/bppv/bppv.html

It is caused by calcium carbonate crystals in the inner ear. For me it has caused the most severe dizziness I have ever experienced and I have had severe anemia before, but it didn't cause any kind of dizziness like this. There are things that can be done to help with it, but it is best your docs check you out to see if that is the problem first. I hope this info helps.

Best wishes, D.N.
