Balance Problems, Car Sickness Since Breast Reduction Surgery. Reason?
Hello, I had a GA for a breast reduction surgery 6 weeks ago. Since the surgery I have had balance problems and car sickness issues. I am waiting for an appointment to come through to see an ENT specialist , however that could be several weeks away. On Friday I lost balance coming down some stairs at work and thankfully a colleague stopped me from falling down the stairs. So far I have been told this is completely unrelated to the anaesthetic, however after having a look around on the internet quite a few people report balance/ inner ear issues after surgery. I have not been unwell with any viruses for nearly a year. If you have any thoughts or suggestions I would be very grateful. Thank you.
Hi
Loss of balance can be due to ear or brain problems.It is not elated to General anaesthesia.
Please take Betahistine tablets till you meet your ENT doctor.
Please get your Blood pressure checked.
Nothing to worry
Wish you good health
Regards
