Brief Answer:
Post operative complications to consider.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back and thanks for the additional information.

In this case, infection of the deep tissue of the shoulder,or hematoma, both, rare, but still possible complications of shoulder surgery, is necessary to be taken into consideration and evaluated further.

It is necessary t get evaluated by your surgeon about this issue.

If these complications will be excluded, other possible conditions such unstable blood pressure, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo etc. should be considered.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
