Dizziness -

Has anyone experienced dizziness since giving birth?  I'm assuming that I am having a huge spike in the number of seizures I'm having because of hormone changes but I just wanted to see if it could just be a normal pp symptom.

Re: Dizziness -

  • I have. I was put on BP medication after birth, and one of the side effects is dizziness, so I thought it might be from that.

    I also feel dizzy when I'm BFing sometimes, though. I don't think I'm drinking enough water so I figured that could be a possible cause, too.

    It might just be the hormones, too... Probably worth mentioning to your doctor.

  • Right after we got home from the hospital and for the first 2-3 weeks, I had dizzy spells nearly everytime I'd stand up, especially if I was getting up really quickly.  Thankfully, I never had DS in my arms when it seemed to happen.  I was ebfing and like the pp, I think I was slightly dehydrated.  I was also on a cocktail of antibiotics and pain pills, some of which probably (but I don't recall for sure) had dizziness as a side effect.  I would definitely mention it to your doctor, just in case!!

  • Thanks ladies! I really appreciate the input because generally if I have more dizziness it's automatically a seizure, not just a dizzy spell. It's as though having seizures means I can't get dizzy like a normal person lol... I'll be sure to mention it to my doctor

  • I read somewhere (don;t remember where) that your equilibrium changes after you have a baby....but make sure your BP is not too low.
