sunkissed 20 Posted January 28, 2014 I'm 5 days post- op, I have my first visit with my doctor in 2 days, I'm still on Blood pressure meds. I have experienced some tachycardia and my blood pressure it's still high even if I take my meds. Do any of you know if this is normal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunkissed 20 Posted January 28, 2014 They overloaded you with fluids in the hospital. Well it's been 5 days already, and I'm eliminating fluids well. I'm not sure what it could be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gohelpyourself 377 Posted January 29, 2014 Five days really isn't that long. The surgery itself causes Fluid shift that takes a while for your body to resorb (especially without any drains). Then there is the fluids you are given during and after surgery. I was overloaded with fluids for weeks after my C-section but I do not think I had issues with tachycardia or HTN. So they did not give you a rationale for it when they prescribed you the medication for your elevated pressure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been taking those meds for a year, but I figured it out, it was me putting sugar in my plain yogurt lol something as small as that makes a difference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
