Hi all. I'm six weeks post op and doing ok now I'm home. I was in hospital for five weeks. However, I'm fine when lying down but as soon as I stand up I get this incredible dizziness and a feeling of total weakness. The dizziness seems to start on my stomach not my ears and it feels like excitement or fear, like stage fright but on steroids. I can't push through it but looks like a toddler trying to walk. I'm not sleeping and it's much worse today after a sleepless night last night. 

Has anyone else experienced anything like this please?

  • Hi Jon791 

    can I suggest you contact the oncology nurses and tell them, maybe it is something simple they can look into it for you. 

    all the best Steph 

  • Hi Steph 

    Been back to the GP this morning for a full check over. It looks it maybe just serious lack of sleep as I've hardly slept in weeks. I have a short course of tablets to help. 

    Best regards

  • Hi Jon sorry to take so long to reply, lack of sleep is understandable, I hope you are getting some now and the dizziness is improving for you. Take good care of yourself, Steph x
