Pain medicines do.
Not likely in general. More questions than answer at this point: What kind of anesthesia (intravenous sedation, general anesthesia, spinal, etc.)? For what type of surgery? How long was the surgery? How old is the patient?
Hi.
The answer is simply : NO.

NO.
No
Yes. Most patients also either have received perioperative narcotic or are taking narcotic pills post-op, which can certainly cause dizziness.
