Post-op dizziness

I'm about 3-1/2 weeks post-op.  The last couple of days I've started getting dizzy when I'm laying down and switch positions or get up/lay back down.  Briefly feel nauseated, but nothing comes of it other than poor sleep.  If you experienced this symptom, how did you handle it?  Was there anything you could do to lessen it? 

Thanks for your help.

So sorry you are struggling with this. I had a similar thing, still do at times. My blood pressure has gotten low after having my surgery. I have to be sure the drink enough fluid.
Have you called your Dr? Do you have a blood pressure cuff you can take your pressure with? Are you drinking enough?
Please keep us posted.
Praying for you.
Hugs~

I too have been experiencing dizziness.  I agree with Annie, talk to dr.  For me my blood pressure was a little low but my pulse had dropped quite low.  With medication changes, we are slowiy getting things under control and I now rarely experience the dizziness.
