Low blood pressure and heart rate

Since surgery 4 weeks ago I've had very low heart rate and blood pressure. Lots of dizzy spells. Anyone else experience this?

Not only did I experience this, I passed out twice in one day. The second time I nearly drowned. The first time I broke my foot, sprained my back and sprained both knees. I'm still on crutches. I'm drinking more Water, using more salt and taking midodrine to keep my blood pressure steady. Please don't wait to get hurt like I did. Talk to your doc ASAP about coming up with a treatment plan. I had warning signs for weeks (and I've had very low blood pressure my entire life) and I got hurt badly because I ignored them.

Slowly. I still get lightheaded easily but I take it slowly.
