Question: My friend had surgery to repair three aneurysms two weeks ago. Two could be repaired by going in through the groin but the third one required surgery by operating on the brain itself. She was released from the hospital a few days ago. She has a little weakness on the left side but everything else appears normal. Twice now she has fallen. She was standing at her kitchen counter when her legs just gave out and she fell to the floor. Then two days later it happened again. She doesn’t lose consciousness but she can’t getup right away. She said it feels like her legs just fold beneath her. Once she sits down, she feels ok.. she doesn’t have any other kind of weakness. She called her doctor after the first episode and he said it could be related to her seizure medicine she’s taking as a precaution. She has not had a seizure ever. The only other medicine she’s on is prednisone for rheumatoid arthritis. She was taken of off her heart medicine before surgery and has not been put back on it yet. She’s had no chest pain and her blood pressure was 128/60 when she took it after her fall. I’m worried about her falling spells and wanted to ask if it is a sign of some kind of brain damage? Do you think it’s a temporary reaction while her brain is healing? Thank you for any information you can give me.
