9 day post. blood pressure still high! Normal?
Hi Ladies, 3 day's post-op I noticed that my blood pressure is 20ish points higher than before. It's still up. It use to be avg. 120ish/70ish now its between 148/84 to 159/91 never down to normal.
We called the Dr. on call over the weekend, she said not to worry unless it holds at 160+/90+ Is this normal after a major surgery and will it go down to normal? Have any of you had this happen???
My first postop apt. is Thur.

Hi (((gardenia bloom)))
Blood pressure can increase after a hysterectomy. If you do a search, you will find some interesting information on hysterectomy and hypertension. I am glad that you have been in contact with your doctor and will be monitoring yourself closely. I hope that others will be along to share who have had similar experiences and also that you get some answers on Thursday.

Re: 9 day post. blood pressure still high! Normal?
Hi there,
I didn't know that hysterectomy could lead to hypertension... until I had a hypertensive episode about two weeks ago that landed me in the ER.
The criteria for a hypertensive crisis is 160/100, as far as I've seen in the literature. At that point you risk damage to your internal organs. If your surgeon isn't concerned, your primary care doctor may be, and I'd follow up there.
Don't wait like I did - I ignored my increasing fatigue and dizziness until I almost passed out in the doctor's office! I'm now on a small dose of lisinopril and my body has responded well. I also got a home blood pressure monitor and so far the readings have been very good; this way I can check and be on the phone immediately if I start feeling ill again.
