My little girl had surgery about two weeks ago. Since then, she’s been getting these brief blackouts every couple of days—just for a few seconds at a time. It actually happened just now while she was walking; she went down and hit her head quite hard 😢 . I’m wondering if this is just because she hasn't been very active since the procedure, or if it could be some lingering effect from the anesthesia... I have a buddy who was grounded from driving for a month after his surgery because there was a risk of fainting from the meds
.

Has anyone dealt with something similar? Any thoughts?

Thanks

What you’re describing sounds like syncope—basically a brief loss of consciousness. It might be a lingering effect from the anesthesia, but I wouldn't bet on it. Either way, she really needs a thorough checkup from an internist and a neurologist. She should probably head straight to her pediatrician to get those referrals moving right away.👍

Anesthesia
post-op shock is creeping in..
But honestly, that’s supposed to happen right after the surgery, right? Waiting fifteen days is way too long—I’d assume we’re talking about really frequent or major surgical procedures if that’s the case.
The fix: load up on fluids and grab some multivitamins to help flush out all those toxins after the procedure.
As for food, I was just thinking about what might actually work—personally, things like cranberries come to mind since they help with flushing everything out. Maybe some kefir for the gut, some aloe vera, or even just a solid multivitamin like Centrum..
That’s what worked wonders for me after my last surgery. 🤷

What kind of "black poisons" are you talking about? If you're implying medication, those are typically cleared from the system within a few hours... besides, anesthesia doesn't last nearly that long, and this isn't a direct consequence of the anesthesia, though theoretically, it could be an indirect one... syncope can stem from many different causes, so they should definitely see a doctor, especially if these fainting episodes keep happening...
