I felt like this after I had a knee replacements and had blood transfusions , which fixed the problem . do you think I could have that problem again ? thankyou .Lesley .
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern, and would like to explain that a careful differential diagnosis of different causes related to this symptomatology (such as low blood pressure, orthostatic hypotension, chronic anemia, an infection). Even anxiety could mimic this clinical scenario. I would like to know the type of surgery you have gone through. Was it a small intervention? Did you need blood transfusion during the intervention? Had you had any fever in the days after the intervention? I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG and some blood lab tests
