Dizzyness and Dehydration

Hi all, am feeling quite sorry for myself today. I am 3 weeks post-op and am not having a very healthy time. On tuesday at lunch I started to feel dizzy, it was my second day back at work and I had just finished lunch so I thought, well, I just ate to fast. Anyway during the afternoon it progressively got worse. I went home and laid on the couch and finally went to bed. I tried to get up and go potty but my head was SPINNING!! My husband and I finally decided to go to the emergency room which is an hour drive away. We made it and once there they took my blood pressure and it was 74/41 - they took me in and put an IV, two litres of solution later I could at least hold up my head. I went home. It is now Friday, 3 days later and I still feel like crap!! absolutely no energy, a little nausea and I threw up this morning and yesterday morning (not a lot). Am wondering why I did this! Have already missed five days of work and am wondering will I ever feel normal again. I had my 2 week post op and had been doing fine up until this point. Any words of wisdom? You're remarks will be helpful, thanks.
