Re: Help--experience dizziness/nausea

[Guest guest]

Dawn,

Is she still on any pain medications ? She may be having a reaction to the

medication. Also, is she taking Compazine or anything else to combat the nausea

? She really needs to do her breathing exercises because the last thing she

needs is to have the lower part of her lungs collapse. Can you convince her to

do them or is there someone she will listen to and do them ? I realize she's

feeling crappy, but is really is important that she use the spirometer or do the

breathing exercises that are required. Maybe she just needs a little

encouragement, to know that she's come this far, she can fight through this

hurdle! Has she talked to her doctor about her nausea ? Who is her doctor ?

Please update us,

Anita
