[alicia0607]

oh where do i start, on feb 23rd i had my tubes tied so i was wondering if this could just be some after effects or if i might have an infection. when i stand up, get out of bed, or just move to quickly i feel really light headed as if i am going to pass out, i feel really dizzy, i have no appetite, nausea i feel like i'm going to throw up but i haven't, i get chills real bad where i shake, and i am really tired. does anyone have any advice to help me

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Tying of tubes by itself will not cause loss of appetite, dizziness etc. This could be due to either some infection or due to hormonal changes as in polycystic disease, hypo or hyperthyroidism or due to postural hypotension. The blood pressure falls when you stand and causes all the symptoms that you are suffering. Dehydration, certain medications, heart problems, untreated diabetes, and nervous system disorders can all cause this. TIAs or transient ischemic attacks can also be the cause. Certain internal ear problems can also affect blood pressure monitoring by the body by not properly signaling a change in position. Blood pressure monitoring, hormone assessment, tilt table test, EKG, heart echo, ambulatory blood pressure recording are all required. Please discuss these possibilities with your doctor and get the required investigations done.
Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!

It sounds like you have some infection going on.  I would call your doctor and let them know.  They may just be able to call you in some antibiotics...in the mean time, load up on Vitamin C and extra Iron.  Good luck, sweetie!!
