Blood pressure....

[fccm04 39]

I have never had blood pressure issues, never. It's always been normal. However, since surgery my blood pressure has been very high. The day I was released from the hospital, they didn't want to release me BC of my blood pressure but the gave me meds in my IV and released me BC it came down. Now, I'm home and it's still high today 140/105. I'm extremely nervous. Going to the dr tomorrow but wanted to see if anyone ever went through this. I thought thus surgery lowered blood pressure not created it! HELP!

I haven't had my surgery yet, but could it be your body responding to the trauma of surgery? It's probably temporary.

@@Dlivette I hope so!

Are you taking any pain meds? Anything derived from morphine makes my blood pressure extremely high.

I'm taking the two meds from my doctor to help coat my new tummy, carafate and Omeprazole

Stress raises the BP. Relax if you can and just see the doc. My husband and I both came off one BP med after the sleeve (each were on 3). There was a time my BP was 200/100 and I was terrified. Keep us posted. Please.

Then it's probably not the meds. The surgery put a lot of stress on your body. Maybe that's what is happening. Your doctor will know for sure. Good luck.

M blood pressure after surgery always seemed high to me. 140/84. But both of my docs don't seem too concerned.
