What Causes Low Blood Pressure Post Neck Surgery?
I had neck surgery and after surgery moved to room my blood pressure was an issue. The doctor ended up keeping me overnight. Had TEE performed and blood pressure dropped to 76/52 and reparations were noted as 12. This is from the medical records. Could this be an reaction to the anesthetic?

Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that low blood pressure could be related to different possible causes:
- anesthesia adverse effects
- anemia from bleeding during surgery
- dehydration
- a reaction to the pain or painkillers.
Coming to this point, I would recommend having some rest and taking plenty of water in the next days.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing good health,
Dr. Iliri
