Cold & Hot & Low Blood Pressure



Recommended Posts

It's almost 70 degrees all the sudden I felt so cold like if it was 40 degree. I started cooking. Everything warmed up. I felt so hot. After dinner was over I was still warm. I went to check my blood pressure it said 108 over 84.

Have anyone experience this? I felt like manaupause. I was shaking that's how cold I was.

I seem to be really intolerant to cold lately. Most nights I have to put on socks and sleep with two blankets on. It's gets pretty chilly here at night, like 55 or 60 but it feels absolutely freezing to me!

I think your blood pressure is probably ok.

I went to the dr today and mine was 106/61 I asked if that's low and was told it was good. I was surprised by that.

I wish I would have asked about being cold all the time but I forgot.

When is your next postop appointment? My advice would be write down everything that you have a question about. I should have done that.

Good idea. I will write it down. My post up appointment is next week.

It's from not eating and losing weight.

That's what my hubby said he thought he had to call the ambulance that's how bad I was shaking. My teeth was making noise. WOW! first time that happen since forever. I never experience that before.

Welcome to the cold, it's a long term side affect of the surgery. For me peronally anything under 75 is freezing and PA always seems to be under 75. When you get the shakes get hubby to crawl under te balnket with you, you'll warm up fast :) Carry sweaters and jackets everywhere, you'll need them. I'm four years out, the cold feeling never goes away or improves.

I'm freezing all the time!! I told my dr he said It's due to the quick weight loss and I would level off eventually.

But you'll be buying fashionable sweaters from the sales rack of the skinny department. :-)

For me it's warm shoes and something on my neck (scarf or sweater) and I'm ok even at the office. Gloves in the winter are a must.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
