I had a benign tumor removed 4 weeks ago above the brain stem on the left side. I still have major dizziness when standing and walking that I need help and face is numb on left side. Dr said I would get feeling back in face and dizziness would go away,but how long does this usually take?
Hi i had large mallignant tumor removed from my cerebellum in feb this year. And i have dizziness and sometimes nausea. I take salvestrol plant based tablets. Please google them. They are a big help for brain tumor patients. Xx
Hi everyone. Like many of you it seems like it's a common problem but we feel silly for querying it. I had a frontal lobe meningioma removed 9 months ago, felt fine until 2 weeks ago and now have regular dizzy spells when I stand up, lie down or turn my head. I wondered if it's due to the skull healing completely leaving the previously seeping cerebral spinal fluid through the cracks now sloshing around in any voids. I'm at a loss, and am astonished that no one seems to have a clue what the cause is. Why are we fine for months and now develop new symptoms? Surely if we are healing nothing else should change!
I had surgery to remove a meningioma about 18 months ago. I began experiencing increasing dizziness and lightheadedness about eight months after surgery. My doctor referred me for various tests, including an MRI, which showed the development of a cyst in the space left by the tumor. My neurosurgeon did not consider the cyst a threat, and prefering to monitor it. A subsequent increase in dizziness prompted another MRI earlier this year, with the same result; further cysts had developed. I'll take "harmless" cysts over tumor regrowth any day.
Hi I had a very large frontal lobe type 2 Meningioma and a small piece on top of my brain was left due to blood vessel that where too sensitive to operate on . I'm on my day 5 of radiation treatments. And after working in the yard later that day felt dizzy while driving and once I go to my place to park things got worse and worse with server dizzyness sweating nausea until I called 911 and was seen in the hospital. Diagnosis was vertigo. Got meds but have not filled the RX yet and now it's coming back. The Ativan they gave me at the hospital helped . The two mes they sent me home with the RX for didn't work at the hospital. I hope they work when I get them.
Brain Tumors suck!
What are the reasons why I can't feel well after brain surgery? I don't have any energy, and I'm always in a chronic pain!
I had a neuroma that was 3 cm by 4.5 cm removed 2 years go that was pressing against my brain stem. I have also been experiencing random dizziness. Sometimes it is caused by sound and it disorients me. Sound if loud enough and constant scrambles my thoughts. I wasn't sure if this was a normal thing, something to be concerned about or how to compensate for it if at all possible.
Has anyone found any answers as to why we all continue to face Vertigo and Dizziness episodes after a few months of surgery? Is it some specific action that triggers it? Any internal or external factors that trigger it? Any insights yet? Any feedback from doctors/surgeons?

Hello, sunnyclicks.
Post-surgery vertigo and dizziness can have various causes, and here are a few possible factors that can contribute to post-surgery vertigo and dizziness:
1. Anesthesia: General anesthesia used during surgery can have side effects, including dizziness or lightheadedness. These symptoms typically resolve as the anesthesia wears off.
2. Inner ear disturbance: Surgery near the head or neck region, particularly if it involves the inner ear structures, can disrupt the delicate balance mechanisms in the inner ear. This disruption can lead to vertigo or dizziness.
3. Medications: Certain medications prescribed after surgery, such as pain medications or antibiotics, can have side effects that include dizziness or lightheadedness.
4. Positioning during surgery: The positioning of the body during surgery can affect blood flow and cause temporary changes in blood pressure, leading to dizziness or lightheadedness post-surgery.
It's important to communicate your symptoms to your healthcare provider, as they can evaluate your specific situation and provide appropriate recommendations. They may conduct further evaluations or refer you to a specialist, such as an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) or a neurologist, for further assessment and management.

I had brain surgery almost 3 years ago (through my cerebellum) and have been dizzy ever since then. Have had my ears checked and the crystals are all in place. No one can seem to positively define what is causing this.
Hello, I know you posted this a long time again. My husband just had a tumor removed from the cerebellum area and has thrown up every time he moves since surgery 3 weeks ago. Can you tell me how long yours lasted? I pray in time this will pass! He feels like he is on a boat going 100!
