Hello,
Your symptoms could be caused by internal bleeding. This could be just a normal bleeding during surgery. If you have shortness of breath or low blood pressure, I recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam. If you have any other questions, I would be glad to answer to all of them.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
