8. Dizziness and Fainting
It’s easy to wave off a bit of momentary dizziness. But if a person recovering from a suspected or confirmed ruptured ovarian cyst faints or feels dizzy, they should seek immediate medical attention.2Baras, Dana. ‘What Risks Are Associated with a Ruptured Ovarian Cyst?’ Johns Hopkins Medicine, www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/what-risks-are-associated-with-a-ruptured-ovarian-cyst. This symptom combined with others on this list could indicate serious complications.
It’s important to call an ambulance if a person takes more than a few minutes to wake up after fainting, wakes up with an injury or wakes up without knowing how long they were unconscious.6‘Fainting.’ Healthdirect, Healthdirect Australia, www.healthdirect.gov.au/fainting
