A member asked:

My mom had surgery on her left hip 2 weeks ago as it was fractured. as soon as she came home from hospital she experiences bouts of dizziness, but she can walk with a walker so far. why might she be dizzy? she is not on prescription pain killers?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

At age 91 it is wonderful that she's made such good progress but was she offered a stint at a rehabilitation center which might have been advisable? There's concern with her falling. Home physical therapist &visiting nurse will check for safe environment such as loose rugs,objects on floors,etc. Also low blood pressure&anemia must be checked for as causes of lightheadedness. She may need iron.
