Yes. General anesthesia can cause dizziness. You should not walk without
assistance until you feel clear-headed. Drinking fluids helps to flush the
medications from your body. However, depending on your medical history,
drinking a lot of water/fluid may not be advisable.
Yes, but consult with PCP. This may be a coincidence.
