Hello,
Head rushes are not connected to either the spinal cord tumor or its removal. It is related to a drop in BP when one stands, however, the compensatory mechanisms make the BP normal in a few seconds and the head rush also stops.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
