Fluctuating BP From 158/89 To 124/99. History Of Surgery On Foot, Severe Duodum Ulcers. Connection?

Hello, I have had a major surgery on my foot May 9 and then 4 days later hospitalized with 3 severe duodum ulcers that I was unaware I had. Since all this lately I have been checking my blood pressure and it goes from 158/89 to 124/99. Is this something I should be concerned with or could it be from having recent medical problems. I am a 40 year female. Thank you, Mary

Hi thanks for your question.
Trauma surgical or emotional can precipitate salient ulcer. These ulcers could also be precipitated by pain killer which you might have used for pain. Even these medicines can cause ulcer its self in patient with APD that is acid peptic disease .Fluctuating blood pressure has nothing to do with the foot surgery .It could be due to age factor, since you’re of 40 years age. This the time you’re in premenopausal phase and fluctuating blood pressure could be due to hormonal changes which occur during pre menopause. Take healthy diet, low in salt and fat along with regular exercise and try to maintain your weight within normal limits .Hopefully your blood pressure will get settle with this approach called as life style modification. If blood pressure doesn’t settle with life style modification consult a physician who may put you on antihypertensive medication, as you diastolic blood pressure is always in hypertensive range.
Hope this answers your question.
