Dr. Randy Stevens answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Stay hydrated: You had hernia surgery. You are now feeling dizzy. It remains important to stay hydrated after the surgery. Your body releases many hormones in response to the stress of surgery. Also the medication for pain lowers your blood pressure. Drink lots of fluid to stay hydrated. Lay down when dizzy and keep a friend with you at all times. If worsens call doctor.
