What Could Be The Reason For Fogginess, Dizziness, Loss Of Balance Following Several Angiograms And Coiling Procedures?
I had a stent and coils placed in my brain due to an aneurysm on Feb. 27th. I have been through brain surgery and had one aneurysm clipped and several angiograms and a previous coiling procedure. This time is different. I am two weeks out and still feel like I am in a fog all the time. Every time I get up from a sitting or lying position I have to hold onto something because I get very dizzy and have actually fallen once. I don't know what to do. I just can't seem to bounce back. I go back to the neurosurgeon on March 18th for a CT scan and a office visit, but I need answers now.

Dear,
as angiograms are fine you don't have to worry to much!
You need to be carefull because periodic control to your neurosurgeon are needed for safety but the symptoms you are suffering aren't related with aneurism.
Anyway objective vertigo need to be explored to find her cause.
It may be a ear problem (labirintic, vestibular or periferic )
Anyway these are minor problem, you should discuss with your doctor about my opinion and start medication to prevent vertigo (betahistine)
Wish you all the best
