Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Yes,dizziness, headaches, anxiety etc can be seen in people had anaesthesia in near past. A period of 2 to 3 months on minimum is need for all residual effects of anaesthesia to disappear.It does not need any medication to get rid of the symptoms.

Good protein diet and multivitamins will help in speedy recovery.

Wish you good health.

Hi,

As I said before , general anaesthesia can cause the problems you are having now.

The readings you provided above are normal and within range.The chances of other causes being involved are less.

Rarely infection of the operated site can lead to some similar symptoms, do consult your treating doctor to rule out the same.

Wish you good health.
