Light headed/Dizziness

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello everyone. I am wondering if anyone who has been decompressed can tell me how long I can expect to feel light headed/dizzy. It seems to be affecting my eyes too. It's not spells, but a fairly constant feeling. Its been nearly 4 weeks since my surgery and I don't notice any relief yet. Is this normal? Any input would be appreciated! Thank you!!
