Tachycardia and low blood pressure after surgery

May 3, 2016
Asked By:Arte10 in New Jersey

I'm planning on having a full tummy tuck and breast lift in the fall. I'm terrified of getting put to sleep. I've had wisdom teeth removed and 4 c sections and after each surgery had tachycardia and low blood pressure. It's a horrible feeling! Nurses would say I would feel better in 4 hours but it takes more like 8 hours. I don't do well with drugs (even cold meds make me feel off). Is there anything I can do to prevent this? I'll be out much longer so I'm very worried. Thank you
