I havent had the surgery yet but I always get hypotensive when I'm dehydrated. In the winter you need to drink more fluids than normal when breathing dry air from the furnace or like me, I live in Arizona and with that dry air more fluids are always needed.

I would like to say thank you to Rachel for answering my question.. To all the post ops.. if you have problems as mine stated above.. please see your primary care doctor.. I am experiencing these symptoms as a result of having a mitral valve prolapse.. and am now wearing an event monitor for the next two weeks.. to determine the type of arrythmia, if any , that I am having . Thanks..
