I had a cesarean 9-21-06. Since about week four postpartum i have been experiencing a dizzy sensation. It comes and goes with no obvious triggers. I have also been fatigued and had eye itchiness and drainage for about three days in late October. I wonder if all these things are related and if it has anyhting to do with after pregnancy or having a cesection. It is my 2nd cesarean and I did have blood work done over the weekend at the er and I am not anemic or anything. My sugar and sodium potassium levels are good. Any ideas?

I came across your post on www.steadyhealth.com and I was wondering if you ever pinpointed the cause of your dizziness after your c-section. Did the other person ever respond to your post?
We welcomed our 2nd baby by c-section on 5/30/08 and I have been dizzy ever since I came home from the hospital. It is not a spinning sensation, but rather a feeling like I am floating or my head is just heavy. Maybe even like I have been on a boat and then back on land I am having the sensation of still being in waves. It is such a strange sensation. I thought at first it was the pain pills, but I noticed once I weaned off the meds at home (b/c I was breastfeeding I tried to get off the pain pills quickly) I was still lightheaded/dizzy. It has seemed to get worse over the weeks and I am getting really nervous it is going to continue to worsen which may impact me taking care of my kiddos.
I was wondering if you had in fact experienced something similar and if so, what was your resolution? I am desperate to feel better. I have been to a neurologist, hematologist, PCP, etc etc. I’m about to try a cardiologist and rheumatologist. Can you tell I am truly fed up? J
Thank you in advance for your time and any help you can offer up!!!
