Hello,
Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. Indeed, we received your message. From the description you have given, I think you need a proper evaluation by a physician. Your symptoms can be due to the surgery, but are more likely to be related to the advancing age. Your blood sugar levels, blood pressure, cardiovascular profile should be well monitored. Please maintain adequate rest, proper diet, regular follow up and relaxation. If needed, you may be asked to go for a neurological assessment to check the cognitive function. Hope this helps.
