my 42 yr old husband had a tooth pulled 2-18 under anesthesia (gas). Since then he has had 2 instances of feeling foggy headed and fatigue in his legs that lasted a couple hours. Then again today he experienced it again, I took his blood pressure 178/96. He has had no history of high blood pressure, takes no medications.
I ended up taking him to the emergeny room. His bp was 211/102. EKG normal, blood normal, chest xray normal. Sent him home. BP still high 182/102. We have an apt with doc tomorrow.
I read that ephedrine in anesthesia can cause high BP to escalate. could this have caused this? Is it temporary?
