Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

For the first 24 hours after going home, a patient may have some lightheadedness, dizziness, or sleepiness because of the medicines given to
you during the procedure. However it is uncommon to have these symptoms for more than a day or two. It will help to know if he is having diabetes or hypertension which can be causing dizziness. This may not be related to the stone and he needs to consult a neurologist to know if there is any underlying problem to do with brain blood supply. Please do not ignore it and after consultation, few blood and imaging tests might be necessary to know where exactly is the problem.
