    Hi - I had my fess done about a week ago. Yesterday - I had my first post op visit and the doctor cleaned the nose (crusting was removed). Post the cleaning - I have been feeling pain in the nose and light headedness, with slightly heavier bleeding in the nasal washes i am doing. My temperature is normal - the only medication I am now taking is sinarest - once a day and nasal washes (4-5 times a day). Is this light headedness expected? My surgeon advised me to have coffee
