Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Vertigo: Vertigo is not a typical symptom one gets after surgery or atypical symptom after delivery. If you are taking Narcotic pain medication it could be a side effect of that. Consider seeing an ENT or your primary care doctor for an evaluation of vertigo.
