New issues

I was diagnosed with chronic bronchitis two years ago . I'm recovering from back surgery now and I'm off work . My question is I've been having issues with almost passing out and being extremely dizzy for a while then it takes me a day or so to recover . Has anyone have these issues ? Calling my Dr in the am . Thanks


  1. Hi Alkibler, and thanks for your post. I see my colleague, @Janet Plank, has already responded to your comment.
    I would tend to agree with her suggestion. The symptoms you've described following a back surgical procedure (syncope combined with dizziness), could be an indication of something serious. This could also be so since you've shared it can take you a 'day or so' to recover.
    Since your post is from about 6 hours ago, you may want to reach out for medical intervention before tomorrow morning.
    What do you think?
    Please do let us hear back from you. We are concerned for your good health.
    Wishing you well,

    1. I'm checking in to see how you're doing now. Did you speak to your doctor? If so, what was the outcome of that? I'm hoping all is well.
      Please let us know.
      Best,
