What Can Cause Blackout And Light Head After Breast Reduction?

Hi, I had a breast reduction 11 days ago, and Im feeling pretty good. I havent taken any meds in about 3 days and Im not in much pain at all. Ive been showering and washing my incisions and putting antibacterial ointment on them as told by my doctor. So today when I was standing and cleaning off my incisions to go get my stitches removed, I became very lightheaded and started to blackout. I sat down and in a couple minutes..I was fine.. any ideas?

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

It is a hypotension that has caused you make this.

Nothing to worry. It is common in some operative patients.

As during the operation our body system becomes somewhat weak.

So when you remain standing for prolong period or you can stand after prolong sitting such episode can occur.

But it is nothing to worry in single such episode. But if it recurr on second or third time than you have to check your blood pressure.

Taking a appropriate treatment can cure your such a attack.

Please take enough sleep and forget the episode that has occurred with you. This will help cure your problems.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
