Check Your BP ( blood Pressure)

Well I had quite a scare the other day. I have been getting dizzy and lightheaded for awhile. Everyone said it was because I was not eating right, duh I am not eating like others cuz I just had this surgery. Well I about passed out at work last monday, went home early and to the doc the next day. My BP was 90/60 way to low for me. I was over medicated on my BP meds so the doc cut them way down and I am back to normal now. So heres a tip for all of you post ops check your BP regularly and reduce your BP meds if needed, as always consult with your physician first.

Good advice, Mark. I've never been on bp meds, but checked my bp at the gym yesterday and it was 103/67. I'm not on meds, but thought that might be a little low. Connie

this happened to me about 3 months ago. as of then i have been off bp meds and my pressure is normal now. i use to be around 150/90 WITH 2 different bp meds a day.

I'm not on blood pressure medicine, but my doctor did tell me to make sure that we have regular check-ups for medication moderation because the milligrams of medicine required for our system would change accordingly as we lose weight. He said that this would be for just about all medications. Smiles, CP

I never had BP problems &when I went to my primary care doc she said it was 100/something or other.I didn't pay attention to it causeof not having problems with it. Tuesday I go to DR A for check up &will check the BP out. Primary said while my BP had never been high it each year had gone up sligthly so that eventurally I'd have to have meds. Whew was just one more reason to be happy of having the surgery! 77 pounds gone as of 2 weeks ago. I just know that tuesday Ill findthat I am under the 200 pound mark!!!!!
