Spinal Fusion Surgery,dizziness,blackout,normal?
Dizziness and blackouts 6-8 weeks after spinal fusion . Is this common after such surgeries or one should contact the surgeon . The surgery was fine and I am still recuperating and not doing much walking or exercise. But whenever I try to walk I feel very sizzy and have fainting spells. Can you please answer if this is common. Thank you

Thanks for your query
it is not common to have dizziness and fainting spell after spine surgery . There could be a possibility of having postural hypotension as you have these symptoms only on walking
it is advised to get examined by your family doctor
Wish you speedy recovery
