What to do if you feel dizzy ten days after appendectomy surgery

Dizziness ten days after appendectomy is caused by improper diet, lack of sleep, wound infection, viral cold, high blood pressure and other reasons, which can be improved through enhanced care, drug treatment and other methods.

1. Improper diet: Since patients need to stay in bed and have less activity after surgery, their appetite may decrease. The surgery itself consumes body energy. If the nutritional intake is insufficient, patients will become weak and dizzy. It is necessary to strengthen nutrition appropriately. You can eat more eggs, lean meat, carrots and other high-nutrition foods.

2. Lack of sleep: If there is obvious wound pain after surgery, it will also affect normal sleep, making it impossible for the patient to get enough rest, and dizziness will occur during activities. You need to ensure adequate sleep and not stay up late at night. If the pain is severe, you can follow the doctor's advice to take ibuprofen tablets, acetaminophen tablets, aspirin effervescent tablets and other drugs to relieve it.

3. Wound infection: Usually, if postoperative care is not performed, it will lead to wound infection. Excessive stimulation of inflammation may also affect the temperature regulation center, causing the patient to have a fever and cause head discomfort. You need to follow the doctor's advice and take drugs such as amoxicillin capsules, cefuroxime axetil tablets, and erythromycin capsules.

4. Viral cold: Due to the decline in immunity after surgery, viruses may invade the upper respiratory tract, causing infection, sneezing, coughing, sore throat, fever, and even affecting blood supply to the head and dizziness. Oseltamivir phosphate capsules, antiviral oral liquid, Shuanghuanglian oral liquid and other drugs can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

5. Hypertension: If you have hypertension, excessive tension or anxiety after surgery will also affect the control of blood pressure, resulting in insufficient blood pressure supply to the head, which can also cause dizziness. You can choose nifedipine sustained-release tablets, verapamil hydrochloride sustained-release tablets, amlodipine besylate tablets and other medications according to the doctor's advice.

You should take a rest and keep your mood stable. If the symptoms are serious, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
