Is fainting after breast reduction normal?

mequita55
I had breast reduction on Friday and on Saturday afternoon I fainted. I thought it happened because I kneeled down to pick up something. Today Sunday, I almost fainted again after taking a short and slow little walk. Is this normal? Could it be caused by the anesthetic still in my body? I m having hard time getting off and on the bed and do things with my arms. I expected to be able to get into my routine after 2 days but it seems that it will take longer. Is this normal?
