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?
