OK, so one more months Post-Op has come and gone and I have made it to the 16 week mark. So everything seems to be going well, returned to work at 12 weeks.
All of a sudden, a couple weeks ago, it seems like I started urinating a lot more than usual, with low pressure (weak stream). Went to the Urologist, he found pretty much nothing wrong. No enlarged prostate, clean urine and blood tests. Wanted me to take an alpha blocker (Flomax) but it makes my BP so low that I had to stop taking it a couple days in.
Than came the ringing in the ears and most recently, whenever I eat anything high in carbs or sugar, I get to feeling nauseous, dizzy, vapid and sluggish. After a bit of that, my ears start ringing and last night, after a hot chocolate, I actually had an ocular Migraine where I saw the twinkling flashing horseshoe in my right eye. I had not seen anything like this sense my first week after OHS.
When I get this feeling of instability, I check my BP and HR and everything seems normal.
Heading off to see the Endocrinologist to get thyroid checked out tomorrow, Neurologist in a few days and than back to the Cardiologist.
Needless to say, I know lots of folks get the dizziness after OHS due to fluid build up in the inner ear, but this sensation of dehydration kind of befuddles me (assuming that I am actually dehydrated.
