I would not be anything or be able to do anything without listening to others or accepting feedback. Nothing from nothing makes nothing - no matter how much anybody wants to believe he has somehow thought of every possibility.
Often it’s in the form questions from my peers, family, friends and most importantly – my clients. One great question that has come up from several people is regarding side effects of eye surgery. Specifically, I’ve been asked more than once if vertigo can result from corrective surgery.
This is a great question and I’m delighted to have a forum to discuss it.
Vertigo is the result of tension around the balance system in your ears. This tension prevents the body from determining your body position properly. It also blocks the blood flow up to the head, so your brain doesn’t get enough oxygen and nutrition.
The worst problem of this condition is that all the muscles in the head work together in creating the imbalance.
In researching the connection to eye surgery, I’ve found that numerous people complain of vertigo, dizziness or light headedness post surgery. Some suffer to the point of near or complete incapacitation.
Especially disconcerting to those who complain of vertigo following a procedure is that physicians tend to be quick to dismiss the possibility that the surgery could be the cause.
My intention is not to suggest that such surgery is not beneficial, or that it should never be considered. Many people credit corrective eye surgeries with vastly improving their vision if not their lives.
However, with just about all medical procedures, there are potential risks and side effects. So, it is important to understand all consequences (good and bad) that can accompany surgery.
One important aspect of eye surgery I’ve come to learn is that it can involve weeks if not months of lingering after effects including dizziness and vertigo.
Some problems dissipate over time, but others need to seek additional treatment.
Because of the potential harmful after effects, some people choose to explore alternative treatments such as corneal reshaping techniques and even acupuncture.
Again, the treatment or treatments you choose to improve your eye sight are very personal and what is effective for one certainly may not be for others.
However, I strongly encourage you to thoroughly investigate all potential benefits and weigh them against the risks.
Do not hesitate to talk to more than one surgeon when considering surgery. Be very up front about your concerns. Ask what the process is should you experience negative side effects. “If I find that I am experiencing dizziness or vertigo following surgery, how are you prepared to help me?”
If you do not find the answers increase your confidence, keep searching.
For anyone suffering vertigo or dizziness, I strongly recommend my Vertigo/Dizziness Program. It solves the problem of vertigo and dizziness by working on relaxing and strengthening every muscle in and around your head, from the inside out. It is all natural and has proven very helpful regardless of the cause of your vertigo or dizziness problems.
