Swings in BP
Any words of wisdom or "experiences to relate" about drops in BP after surgery? My husband had a quadruple bypass 3 weeks ago today. He's had lots of trouble with two things--(1) swings in perceived temperature (although his actual temperature doesn't vary much) which bring on periods of chills and numerous sweats, and (2) an occasional drop in blood pressure which is accompanied by complete exhaustion. His BP is usually running in the normal range, but then bottoms out at something like 92/60 (or close variations thereof). Other than these two things he's doing pretty well.
