Dizziness

Hi, my dad is 9 weeks post surgery (oesophagectomy) and over the last 6 weeks he has suffered dizziness when walking. It’s making life very difficult for him as it’s having an impact not being able to walk very much. He’s spoken to both the consultant and GP but neither are really able to diagnose what the issue is. So I was just wondering whether anyone else has experienced similar.

Thanks

Emma

  • Hi there, I am experiencing the same as your dad! I experience dizzyness when standing up and sometimes even passout on occasions. I also have consulted with my GP and cancer consultants, who are looking after me. They are also unable to identify the problem? This stops me from walking any distances and I am afraid to drive my car, so returning to work is impossible at the moment. If there is anyone with answers to the our problem, please lets me know. Thanks, in anticipation.

  • Hi there, yes we will definitely let you know if we get anywhere with diagnosing the problem. Best of luck to you.
