Wait an hour and take it again. It is always lower right after waking. Has this been a trend? How is your Water intake? How for out from surgery are you? Do you have a history of high or low BP? Are you on any meds or changed meds/dosages? Have you contacted your medical team with these concerns?

My surgery was 9/16 I use to take bp med for high bp but have been off that for about 2 weeks ...water intake is a struggle not up to the 64 oz more like 30 to 35 oz ...

Ps u called my med staff they just said it had nothing to do with weight loss surgery it's prob a sinus issue wtf ... I've never had low bp with a sinus infection ... Ya know you choose a place to get surgery because they tell you all the great things they will be there to help you with after you get your surgery , then when you really need them they push you off I'm getting really pissed ... I'm no hypochondriac

Low BP can be attributed to dehydration. Be vigilant today with your Water intake. Set a reminder on your phone every hour. Have that be your #1 priority today. In the morning, drink more water, then, an hour after waking, take your BP again.

My blood pressure has been running around 106/66 since I discontinued my bp meds I was on for years. PCP and weight loss clinic said that it's fine. I don't feel light headed even though it's a lot lower than I used to run. Hope you resolve your issues.

I was told to definitely see my family physician at week three after surgery as changes may have to be made in my regular meds (BP, cholesterol ) as the weight loss might affect it. This is in addition to my follow up by my surgeon. He wanted "two sets of eyes on me". I'm not sleeved until the 22nd but have set up my appt.
