Low heart rate after sleeve surgery

Has anyone had issues with their heart rate going low in 30’s and 40’s after surgery? Mine was low in the hospital and has now come back. I’m 9 weeks post op

Not that low, but my HR floats around 50-60 when I'm reclined and resting, makes getting up quickly a bit tough as my blood pressure is also a lot lower than it's been, hopefully it's something my body gets used to, but for now, I have to take a moment almost every time I get up from the couch.

I'm over 3 years out and this is still an issue for me. I got off my BP meds two weeks post-op and in a weird twist of fate, after 20 years of avoiding sodium, I now have my doctor telling me to increase my sodium levels. I actually have a salt shaker at my desk at work. Something you may want to talk to your doctor about.
