Suggest Methods To Control Blood Pressure
My husband has had a whipple operation in the last four years and has passed several kidney stones and had kidney infections. Today he is feeling lightheaded and his blood pressure is 111/63 and pulse is 69. Is this an ok number for a 63 year old man>

Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that these blood pressure values are quite normal.
Anyway, it is normal to have a lower blood pressure after surgery, due to the bleeding or lack of physical activity.
Anyway, if his blood pressure values keep dropping in the next days, I would recommend consulting with his doctor or going to the ER for a complete blood count, to exclude possible anemia.
Meanwhile, it is necessary having some rest and take plenty of fluid to stay well hydrated.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
