dizzy its is normal

Its is normal that every time I lie down and get back up I feel dizzy and feel like im gonna faint n if I don't hold on to sum I loose balance. Should I call a Dr on call or rush to d er? Has any one experience this.

There is no need to rush to the ER, and I am not sure that it warrants calling the doctor on call this weekend since you are more than 2 months out (it can't hurt, but they will likely not be able to suggest much without someone seeing you), but you will definitely want to talk to someone in your surgeons's office next week. There are many possible reasons for dizziness: dehydration, low blood sugar, and low blood pressure are three likely causes.  How much are you drinking?

I have the same exact thing.  Has been happening for over a week now.  I posted on it and got lots of good responses, one person said it's called "postural hypotention."  I imagine mine is due to mild dehydration since there are days I know I don't get enough liquids in.  I follow up with my surgeon on 5/29 and plan to verify with him.

Pump your legs a few times before standing up.  That will send blood towards your head and stop the dizzy feeling.  Your heart was pumping for a bigger body and when you lie or sit now the blood tends to pool in your legs and then have to work hard to get moving again when you stand up.  This is temporary.

Thank you!  The same thing has been happening to me, too.

I drink about 40 to 50 Oz a day

I saw this and immediately wanted to click to see what others had to say, i also get this way some times, it passes quick, some times i find myself leaning on a wall for awhile

This has happened to me on and off from the beginning, and I'm now nine months out. My surgeon and PCP both told me it was low blood pressure, or orthostatic (postural) hypotension. It is easy enough to test if you can check your own blood pressure. The docs checked mine sitting, resting, and then right after standing. it dropped a lot, even when I didn't feel dizzy. The surgeon said he had seen a fair number of cases, but would not call it common. 

Both docs said the same thing, drink more fluids, and have more salt. I try to drink more, even though I usually get over 100 ounces a day.

But do be careful. I have had a few episodes where I wasn't smart enough to sit down right away, and blacked out. 

yp me too i even posted it i go to primary tuesday called my nut she said go to primary asked if i tale blood presure meds i do i take 2 high dose she said prolly time to start getting off prolly bp is to low :)
