Are Dizziness And Tiredness Due To Swollen Tonsils?

I have been seen by a doctor, I was told my tonsils and everything in my neck and jaw are enlarged they are swollen and I have been told to have surgery to remove it. I'm dizzy and tired and I was wondering if that is because of my tonsils? And also the longer I take to have the surgery, can I do any permanent damage?

Hello

The tiredness can be due to your tonsils, however the dizziness is unlikely and i think you should discuss this with your doctor .If your doctor
has advised you for surgery , then i think you should go ahead with it.

Take care
