I'm trying to find out what the cost of a hernia operation might be at Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai or somewhere similar. Also, Im curious about how long someone would need to stay in the hospital afterward. It's all a bit overwhelming, and I just want to get a clear picture of what to expect. Could you help?

Dizziness and blackouts can be concerning, especially after brain tumor surgery.

Hisone-5 (Prednisone 5mg) is a steroid medication, and dizziness is a possible side effect.

However, blackouts are not typically associated with Prednisone.

Other potential causes for her symptoms might include:

  • Post-surgical complications or residual effects
  • Medication interactions or side effects from other medications

Consult her doctor or neurosurgeon to discuss these symptoms and determine the best course of action.
