PeggyAnn Doak Thankyou Robert! I can't tell you...oh maybe i can...how much it means to be encouraged esp. by someone who knows the feelings and recovery of this sort of operation. Or any operation, but this one I am finding is big. and yes. spring is coming. YAY

not sure if I am duplicating my message I just typed out to you but didnt seem to post. Anyways, yes i am 7 wks post op and experience dizzieness. My doc doesnt seem to make a big deal out of it, I dont think they know why. Some people speculate its the heart lung machine or meds. Google, dizzieness after AVR surgery and this site we are in comes up with so many people sharing their stories. You will not feel alone. Good luck to you keep me posted of your progress.

PeggyAnn Doak Hi Kathy, It took me forever to find or refind your message! The doctor told me yesterday to drink lots of water and it worked! I hate those books that say 'you must call 911 if...' and one of them is dizzy. geeze. Thanks for coming by!

Peggy,
Yes, I have had the dizzieness. I have complained to him about the dizziness, I am six weeks post op. He doesnt really respond to it. I dont think they know why so many people experience this, some for a short time and others for a long time. Some people have speculated it cuz of the heart lung machine. I am not good about navigating these sites but if you goodle dizzieness after AVR surgery, this site that we are in comes up with people complaining about the same thing. Doesnt really offer any solutions but you will be amazed at how many people have the same problem. I can honestly say that I feel it less and less it seems but its scarey when it happens. Good luck, patience and faith in God.

PeggyAnn Doak I have put down so many glasses of water since yesterday and it helped the dizziness. I think we can get dehydrated just because our body was intruded upon.

Sorry, i typed quick when I saw your message. Just read your story. Your a brave women, don\'t worry about those of use that have gone in and out quickly compared to what you are going through. Each of us is different, on different roads and different plans that God has laid out for us. Just keep your eyes upon him and you\'ll see the glimpses of things that God is revealing to you through what seems like a long trial. Just like Peter keep your eyes on Jesus and you won\'t sink. Praise God for the news on your cancer, and I will keep you in prayer for your continued recovery. Your getting towards that turn where suddenly things will start to turn around, so just stay focused and things will get better.

Yes, with my mitral valve repair. Usually a result of low blood pressure and high heart rate. It goes away over time, and drinking more water and taking some Motrin helped me to get back on track (They said water to avoid dehydration, and Motrin as the pain may not be noticeable by me, but cause cause the BP and heart rate to be impacted). I\'m 9 weeks post op and pretty much just taking motrin now at night and drinking as much as I can through the day. Stay strong! It will go away over time.

PeggyAnn Doak I am not supposed to take motrin. However the drinking water helped me. I don't have pain and my blood pressure is staying at good range and so is my heart rate, so I think it was the water or lack there of.
