A member asked:

Dizzy upon waking up, cant walk a straight line. not sure if related, but had laparoscopy & d&c a month ago. should i go to urgent care?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes you should: Particularly if running a fever and/or not tolerating oral liquids/food. May not be related to your previous surgeries. More likely a viral inner ear infection
