What Causes Dizziness Post A Kidney Surgery?
If an older adult has had surgery for brain cancer and one month later has surgery for kidney cancers, and they are now experiencing light headiness, dizziness, and vomiting want are the chances that the latter is related to the former? This has been going on for three months. Where would I search for information?

Hello,
The symptoms that are lightheadedness, vomiting and headache are all signs of raised intracranial pressure so might be related to brain tumor or metastasis from the kidney cancer. So this person needs to undergo MRI brain and MR spectroscopy to know the cause and differentiate the origin and treat accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
