Hi Francesanne and thank you for your post.

I am sorry to hear about your husband's recent surgery and the symptoms he is currently experiencing. I appreciate you want to do all you can to help him.

It is difficult for any of the nurses to determine what might be causing your husband’s dizziness. Only the doctors involved in his care can say what they think may be the cause. I recommend that you call his hospital specialist and inform them of how your husband is feeling.

 I would not recommend increasing the ferrous sulfate. If it needs to be increased, then his doctor will do so. There is medication called stemetil that can be prescribed for nausea and dizziness. If your husband’s doctor believes the medication will help, they may prescribe it or a similar one.

I hope your husband feels better soon.

 Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5 pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards

Tina
