Hello,

I understand your concern and would explain that the dizziness does not seem to be related to the bypass surgery.

Coming to this point, I would recommend you to closely monitor his blood pressure values for possible fluctuations and perform a Doppler ultrasound of the carotid and vertebral arteries in order to check for possible narrowing and low blood flow to the brain.

If the Doppler results normal, I would recommend performing a cervical spine X-ray study for possible chronic degenerations and consulting with an ENT specialist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
