I recently have had problems with my blood pressure and heart rate even when I'm laying down. Blood pressure was reading 70/50.. 64/50 etc for awhile now it's more like 90/70 and my heart rate was in the 30s (31 to 40) buzzers kept going off for most of the time. I didn't really feel dizzy though. They took me off some meds but it didn't change my readings for over a month. Now my blood pressure and heart rate are somewhat better. My heart rate actually went up to 60 recently.

Are you on any heart medication or bloodpressure meds? That can lower your blood pressure too much once you are losing weight. My doctors were talking about giving me a pacemaker a couple weeks ago. Now hopefully I may not need it.

Hope you feel better soon.

Are you still on meds for blood pressure or heart rate?

I came off all my meds within the first month. I would hope that you are off the meds.

I would be terribly disappointed in your Doctor and his team if you are having all these issues while he or your GP has kept you on BP or heart meds.

Otherwise, there may be something else seriously wrong.

Time to then see another Doctor about your issues since they may be beyond bariatric surgery.
